While I had a story last week about how food prices are now rising fast, there is one food that remains lowed priced and jam packed with nutrition: Potatoes.

You don’t think about it much, but potatoes are the third most widely eaten food in the world, behind wheat and rice.  Yet, while the prices of those other two starchy homebodies has been rising significantly, the price of potatoes has remained low.

Potatoes are much more perishable than wheat or rice, and they don’t travel well, so they aren’t thought of when it comes to cheap, nutritious food for the masses. 

I personally hope things stay that way, because potatoes are the shiz.  Fo real.
