    Potatoes rock! How else am I going to get my butter and sour cream ration for the day? On a banana? I think not!

    It's not that they are unnutritional it's because of the carb content. If someone is wanting to lower their carb intake they are not the best thing to be eating.

    I'll take a potato over a banana any day.

    I love potatoes of all kinds. White, sweet, purple, red - they are all good. Everything in moderation.

    I think the potato got a bad image when it starting hanging around with all those Fryers.

    well to be fair, i have insulin resistance and my endo and nutritionist told me to stay away from white potatoes AND bananas so i do :D (well i will have no more than half a small banana on a given day ) I dont get the boost from eating a potato, or white pastas or breads. I seriously get so tired i want to fall asleep soon after. doesnt happen with whole grains or sweet potato ( But i will absolutely indulge ever now n then with french fries or mash as they are my favorite foods in the world lol, Just not often and never during the day cause they really do make me sleepy, there is no energy boost followed by the low, just the low and hard, i call it a carb coma :P )

    Eh. I honestly don't care what I eat overall and much less about potatoes and bananas. I've eaten worse things. Like a can of spaghetti for lunch (Oh the sugar! The sodium! The HORROR) or a box of chocolate truffles for dinner. (What?! THE UNSPEAKABLE DISASTERS!) :laugh:

    I eat both. :smile: If it fits into my calorie goal, I eat it. Both are great sources of potassium and are just good in general.
