    If you like sweet potatoes, those are even more nutritious and low cal, very filling. Put some cinnamon on there too. :D

    I believe the actual pamphlet by Patrick Henry during the american revolutions was "give me potatoes or give me death" it later got revised, because revisionism...

    .... WIC may not cover the taters, but if you get SNAP benefits, that will definitely pay for them. Potatoes are great when you need to pinch pennies!

    Pffft I love potatoes. Very filling for the calories. It's too many French fries or mashed potatoes with a ton of butter that makes people fat :p

    Well, I certainly won't feel as guilty everytime I have a red potato anymore. (About 1-2x/week.)


    You shouldn't feel guilty eating food ever

    Potatoes aren't bad. It's the junk people add to them - the butter, sour cream, etc. Thats the stuff that'll do you in. A little potato is great. If it's your only veggie, though, time to find some new ones! :)

    Butter and sour cream are junk now?

    You call butter or sour cream "junk', I call it "helping to meet a fat or protein macro."

    I call them junk. Make fun if it makes you happy.

    I'm not suggesting you limit them. Eat all the butter you want. Soak the potato until it's yellow. Take a stick of butter out and it eat plain. I couldn't care less. To each, his own. :)
