Chinese official : Chinese should eat more potatoes, less rice.

[gambit]

Have you tried sweet potato fries ? There's a place in Chicago known as "Hot Doug's" , they serve excellent Chitown-style hot dogs, and to-die-for sweet potatoe fries (served with foie gras!!)

nom nom nom!

Believe or not -- I do not like sweet potatoes. As a kid, yes. But now as an adult, I generally like salt more than sugar. We have sweet potato fries in our work cafeteria, and they outsell 'regular' potato fries, but I never get it.

Anyway, I am against waste, and waste of food like overeating is a sin and it is damaging to health. China is becoming more obese. It is very bad.

It is only going to get worse as more people own cars and stop walking as much.

But regarding the perception that potato is more likely to make you fat, it is from the many flavoring add-on that people everywhere uses on the potato. In America, it is ketchup. In France, it is mustard.

I think the general practice of frying potatoes, particularly deep frying, is more of a problem than the condiments.
