Farmers grow low carb potato.
It's a potato. It's a vegetable.
I can understand the low carb craze, I can. I have cut down myself but seriously, do we need to start genetically engineering vegetables to be lower in carbs?
Veggies are the food of the land. Millions of vegetarians live on them and millions of people are in good health because of veggies.
I don't understand this one at all.
People complain about chickens with too many chemicals because we started fucking around with them and now a chicken that hasn't been fed antibiotics costs an arm and a leg.
I just don't get this.
You want less carbs? Eat less carbs but don't start messing around with veggies. That's just wrong.
Our meats have chemicals, our regular shelf items are so loaded with chemicals that if we ever hit a nuclear winter, the cockroaches will be very happy with shit from our cupboards.
If we are gonna start messing around with veggies and genetically altering them, may I make a few suggestions other than removing the carbs that nature put in them?
Let's make brussel sprouts taste like chocolate. They are so good for you but face it, they taste like dog shit mixed with cabbage. Let's make them tasty.
Let's make cabbage taste like popcorn from a movie theater.
Let's make peas taste like something that didn't get regurgitated from a babys mouth. And do something about the texture of peas while you're at it ok? It's squishy and sort of sticky. Yuk.
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?
Changing veggies to suit our needs when this stuff comes out of the earth and has treated us very well for millions of years is just stupid.
Change the man made stuff to have fewer crap in it if you want but leave nature alone.

What the hell?! Yea like we need more engineered food that they will come back and say 20 yrs. later causes cancer or something. Geez!
OMG...another person who hates peas for the same reason!! lol

I agree with you - don't mess with veggies especially potatoes! They're my favorite. I wonder if they take away carbs if they'll mess up the other stuff as well. The potato is just not ment to be messed with.

Have a great day today and hope you are feeling OK! *hugs*

And if you want to cut down on carbs, eat less. Simple.

I really, truly hate peas.

Amen to that! I could not have said that better myself. Low carb potatoes? Whati s the world coming to?

I don't understand why we feel the need to alter natural foods because we are a nation of fat asses. I mean, whatever happened to just eating less and controlling your portions? You don't get fat eating one scoop of mashed potatoes, you get that way eating a mountain.

I'm so sick of this carb craze!! If people would learn to control themselves and eat decent sized portions of food instead of stuffing their faces full of garbage then we wouldnt need all these overpriced diet foods and *lmao* low carb potatoes.

Exactly. People need to stop stuffing their damn faces and we wouldn't need to re-create natural foods.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
