Potato Ping!...................

He's Hairy...Like ANIMAL!

[Carriage Hill]

He’s got more hair on his back and shoulders, than I have left on my head! Damn.

[Red Badger]

Do women like hairy men?............ 🤔

[Red Badger]

I knew a guy in the Marines who was so hairy he looked like he was wearing a fur coat!........... 😁

Some of my ancestors came to the US in the 1840s and 50s thanks to a different kind of potato diet.

[Zathras]

I’ve never met one who did.

Eat the ENTIRE potato, skin and the small eyes after scrubbing off adhering dirt, and drink skim milk (for the balanced proteins), and that assures virtually all the basic nutrients are supplied.

The Irish often survived on little more.

[Red Badger]

I thought it was lack of potatoes that caused that!..................😃

[Valpal1]

He may be thinner, but he doesn’t look healthier. Lacks muscle definition, which is probably lack of protein.

[Red Badger]

I thought the eyes are poisonous?...................🤔

[Red Badger]

Needs weight training...........

Emphasizes a point I made in another thread.

You can eat Carbs, or you can eat Fat. You cannot eat both at high levels.

But, while your body can manufacture carbs, from other sources, the body cannot manufacture Essential Fatty Acids on its’ own. So I choose Fats (especially Fats high in Omega-3s).

Toxins Solanine and other glycoalkaloids are present in potato plants, and in the eyes and the sprout growth of a potato tuber. Both are toxic to humans and can lead to a headache, vomiting and other digestive symptoms. It is why you want to remove the sprouts and eyes before you eat the potato. Solanine is concentrated in the eyes, sprouts, and skin, but not the rest of the potato. So long as you remove these, you're unlikely to feel its effects.

Well put!

I’ve had a tatoe patch my entire life, usually have 800 lb Yukon golds in my garage come fall; and man do I eat potatoes. I was over 300 lb, had to lose some weight or die. My doct put me on Ozempic shot, once a week. Between Ozempic and potatoes, I’ve lost 45 lbs in 3 months. I don’t feel my heart, my blood sugar is back to normal, and I just feel much better having lost the weight. Maybe there is something to the tatoe thing.

He probably got so sick of potatoes he didn’t eat anything half the time.

Potatoes also have a hidden ingredient: resistant starches.

These are starches not digested until they get to your colon, where they feed the healthy digestive bacteria and cells.

This is why just boiling potatoes is best, because when they are cooked, and cooled, it converts much of the regular starch into resistant starch.

Yuk....
