money and health and potatoes

[Guest guest]

Donna...glad you mentioned that about the potatoes...I thought I was

just keeping them in a bad spot in my pantry, despite having moved

them to different shelves...figured it was me somehow! I have read

that the greening comes from how they are stored, I can't remember

now why or what - but yes it is not supposed to be very good for

you, my mil says if you cook them well it is okay, but not if there

is too much color or too deep.

 

Certain veggies/fruits I really prefer only organic and potatoes are

one of them...I really hate when they are green!!

 

The weight issue and poverty...I think some of it is also education

and what people are exposed to. So few families anymore spend time

in the kitchen preparing meals or even sitting together to eat...or

even sitting to eat (this is a pet peeve of mine). So many people

just eat out or eat instant things...they have only known that, then

there is the sort of addictive quality of that food...and it just

doesn't satisfy you either...and I don't think you register a meal

properly if you don't sit and savor it at least a bit.

 

That's my two cents:)
