The photo is terrifying.
Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries
The frying is the questionable part. (Well, the french part too but…)
Still vegetables! Everyone knows that a nice dinner at a Chinese buffet is healthy if you eat a few green beans lmao
A succulent Chinese meal?!?
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!!
wdym a ‘complete protein’
There are several essential amino acids we need to survive but don’t produce in our bodies. No plant has all of those amino acids, but every animal product does. You can get complete plant protein by consuming multiple different plants, so if a vegan has a varied diet they’re usually fine.
I just found that mine are growing little mini potatoes even though they didn’t find any soil.
They soiled themselves.
Potatoes revolutionized human agriculture once we discovered which parts of the plants weren’t poisonous. Unlike the human standard before that point, mostly grains, Potatoes can grow even on slopes and mildly rocky terrain.
Never let your potato-pc run after midnight. Or this will happen.
As a communist that is also of Irish descent, and absolutely loves potato based dishes, I feel like this meme is specifically crafted for me.
The potato found you
Now I’m scared to eat potatoes what if it grows in my stomach
Then you will just be assimilated
Can I resist?
You can if you want, but it’s futile.
Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
Tell that to the Irish.
The Irish’s problem wasn’t that they weren’t growing enough food. Their problem is that Britain was taking all the food they did grow.
Potatoes are fucking immortal, I recovered some of last year’s from a planter whose soil was so dry it was almost sand, planted them again, watered them and they immediately sprouted vines and leaves.
That’s because this is pretty much their natural lifecycle. They’re native to the Andes, where cold, dry weather is kind of the norm.
