The potato is the most popular American vegetable, according to the Idaho Potato Commission. But our friends over at FitSugar have a hard time considering the potato a veggie, you know, because it's so starchy and all. But that's just them -- they want to know what you think.I want to comment, but I don't want to create accounts all over the place to do so, so I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
Trying to decide whether a potato is a vegetable or a starch is oversimplified to the extent of missing the point.
Merely eating "vegetables" isn't enough. There is a wide variety of vegetables, and we need all the different types. We need to eat dark green leafy vegetables, orange vegetables, beans and peas, starchy vegetables, and so on.
The potato is both: it's a starchy vegetable. But, to be healthy, people still have to have the other varieties of vegetables too.
