Re: Save the Potato!

CageTheElephantPost Master

In the interest of being a "crusader" for the rights of food...ie PETA, and their stance on eating animals, I must stand up for the rights of...potato's!
Every year, millions of potato's are up-(rooted) from their underground homes!
They are lumped with other potato's.
They are...tumbled through washes, bath's, and other sorts of cruel treatment.
They are...sliced, diced, hashed, baked, fried, boiled, mashed, saladized, and even eaten...alive (raw).
It's a potato "Holocaust"...and it must be stopped!
Join me, and others, in establishing a safe haven for the potato.
Call...donate...to your local S.T.U.P.I.D office...
Save The Underated Potato In Distress!
After all, the potato deserves as much right to life...as...say...veal!

Yeah, Homer, But ya gotta specify that they shouldn't be eaten all at once, otherwise they could be just as fattening as all those poor, endangered potatoes.

Oh....Nevermind...Looking around, I see that it doesn't really matter anyway. I wonder if ya could get all those hefty folks to set their PORK down long enough to come out to a march....

What about Mr Potatoe Head. He was the most exploited of all potatoes. He was pimped out to be what ever you wanted him to be. Forced to dress the way you wanted him to. Then when we were finished using him, he was lost forever in closets, toy boxes, and God knows where. With body parts scattered all around.

straight meat isnt fattening in fact no meat is fattening even if it has fat on it , people are very misguided when it comes to that. carbs are where your fat is

How about baked potato on a stick, doused with Dale's, and eaten while riding down Hwy 72 on a Harley?

Were you smoking hash browns when you wrote this? Or maybe eating hash brown-ies?

There is no need to explain my own jokes or puns to me. I did not mean to be logical. I was tying two topics together for fun! Oh, well...........

It's a common misconception that potatoes are fattening. Potatoes alone are relatively low in calories and very nutritious: no cholesterol, very low in saturated fat, very low in sodium, and high in potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. When I lost a good deal of weight several years ago, I learned to like baked potatoes with only pepper and a little salt, and they were very satisfying.

Unfortunately, my favorite potatoes are still french fries.

There are lots of sources for the calorie count of various foods. According to one that seems to be typical, thecaloriecounter.com, a medium potato weighing 7.5 ounces contains 164 calories. 3 ounces of beef chuck contain 282 calories, 3 ounces of chicken breast contain 150 calories. (And most of us who love meat have a hard time limiting ourselves to a 3-ounce serving.)

Cage, don't forget some potatos have their skin ripped off of them. The skin is ten fried in hot grease and smothered in bacon bits and cheese.

Then the poor potato insides are often either smashed to smitherines or chopped into little squares and served up as potato salad!

The inhumanity of it all!
