Holy Potatoes...

Potatoes are a carbohydrate.
Potatoes are a complex carbohydrate.
Carbohydrates are various forms of sugars.
The brain runs on carbohydrates.
Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat.
Potatoes contain vitamins and minerals.

All this being said, do I think this is a good idea? No.

The Executive Director of the Washington State Potato Commission is going to eat only potatoes for 60 days straight. This escapade began on Friday October 4th. Potatoes aren't unhealthy, as I've demonstrated with the facts above, but eating a diet strictly made of carbohydrates without a balance of other nutrients, vitamins and minerals sure is.

Lets watch and see what happens...
