How about potatoes? Our local paper has an article saying the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture recommends not eating potatoes. What next? Unless I'm wrong it was a staple food after WW II for the Berlin air lift.

I'm convinced that if I can grow it on this farm it will be good for me. The freezers are stocked with beef, pork, chicken, and turkey that came from the barn and I'm going to eat all of it. I'm also going to eat all of that stuff in the garden INCLUDING the potatoes. I'm over people who sit in office and talk about how to eat!
 
I absolutely don't pay any attention to this kind of thing. I'll tell you why. I'm tired of a report saying this and that is bad for ya, and 2 years later another report says that that was all wrong and now this and that something else is bad for ya. Well P1$$ on that. I am not going to quit eating something for 2 or 3 years only to have another report tell ya that you didn't need to do that and it is OK and has been all along. Might as well eat what I want to. Meat, eggs, potatoes, whatever.
 
Based on the number of wrong decisions coming from the USDA and FDA, I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in that recommendation. Potatoes have been researched for a hundred years by different groups. The real problem with potatoes is that people just eat too many of them, especially French fries.

I'm thinking that the governmint thinks it is easier to tell people not to eat white potatoes than to just tell them not to eat so many French fries! Just as the current governmint wants to control guns - because that is easier than trying to control the mentally ill people that are shooting innocent people.
 
And all this talk of only eating "natural" foods get's to me. I just came from a funeral of a close friend. Doctors said she died of natural causes.
 
But I do not see a reason as to WHY white taters are bad for me...........Screw those morons.
Are white taters going to shorten my life? Will one my legs get shorter than the other one?
 
yadda yadda yadda - they said eggs were bad for you too at one point then changed their minds. I eat fresh eggs from my own chickens most everyday. And a fair share of spuds too!
 
The Dept. of Agriculture is as suceptable to the political winds as any other goobermint agency. It's been 40-50 years in my opinion since the Dept. of Ag. emphsis was on making life better for farmers and concerned about good nutrition for the populace. I said it in another post a couple of days ago and I'll say it here. The whole country has gone insane.
 
This stupid insanity won't end until people are literally starving.
I've just plain had all I can take from insane extremists on every front. They deserve what's gonna happen to them and the blood that'll be on their hands.
 
Yes, and they virtually destroyed the butter industry in this country, too, and now have decided that butter is okay again and margerine isn't as good for you as they "thought". They gotta come up with sumpin' new every now and then to justify their goobermint grants.

I read a headline of a story on the internet (didn't read the article) that scientists made water from cow poo...........I can see the scientists now..."you try it, Im not going to try it"...."hey lets get Mikey..." lol
 
Guess there will be more potatoes to make vodka.

Fries, hash brown, potato cakes, mashed, etc. Sorry I am not cutting out potatoes.

Ammernition fer spud guns will become cheap. Meebe cheeper then pumkins fer punkin chunckers....
 
Please forward this to Randy Lund. He seems to be
having a tough time with this whole food thing.
 
Just like everything else, they will decide in a few years that the same stuff they said would kill you will now make you live longer....Guess I'll just have to keep eating my fries, baked potatoes, hash browns, mashed potatoes and gravy, heck I'm gonna die someday anyways, might as well do it with a full belly and happy.....
 
About 15 years ago a woman moved into the neighborhood. She started an organic farm operation. She was about 55 when she died. Trying to be healthy is a good thing, but it may not help some people.
