20 potatoes per day

[7rider]

This man is going to eat 20 potatoes per day for 60 days in order to promote the nutritional value of spuds.

I hope he gets combat pay.

When I was growing up, my folks used to have over for every holiday an elderly friend of my mom's parents. She was quite eccentric (but baked wonderful chocolate chip cookies!) and often repeated the same stories, over and over and over.....
One of them was how, as a child, she had to eat potatoes, 3 meals a day for some (now, sadly, forgotten) long period of time. Potatoes for breakfast. Potatoes for lunch. Potatoes for supper. Soon, she couldn't bare to LOOK at a potato for the rest of her life! Woe to my mother if she ever dared to prepare a meal with potatoes in it, as it would (re)trigger this story over and over (and over) again, and the table full of my sibs would all sit there and roll our eyes at Aunt Mae.
I suspect this guy will be foisting this tale on his grands at some point in the future, and they'll be rolling their eyes at him, too.

I want to show the world that the potato is so healthy, that you could live off them alone if you had to, without any negative impact to your health.

It's a pretty safe bet he's not talking about mental health.

I love potatoes.

As a kid, I'd eat them raw like apples. I planted them, I nurtured them, I talked to them. I always felt that if there was a potato, there was hope. When I was pregnant, for a while all I could stomach was mashed potatoes. My child's first solid food was steamed potato.

But even I don't have a stomach big enough to eat 20 potatoes a day.
