Potatoes are good for you...?

I was in biology doing a lab in which we were testing various compounds for starch and protein content. Cool.

Randomly, some guy I haven't met yet shouts out "potatoes are good for you, right? Cuz they have a lot of carbohydrates?"

The professor paused for a second and said..."it depends on your goal, now about the lab..."

I thought it was funny how she blew him off.

BUT - it seems like all too common of a 'problem'.

people try to praise or vilify foods into a 'good' or 'bad' category, when really, what you eat should be completely dependent upon your goals, and current circumstance -and what your craving ; )

What if, instead of 'good' or 'bad', food just 'is'.

A potato is just that - a potato?

I know, scary concept.

I personally am not including potatoes in my current nutrition plan, as I am undergoing a quest for ultimate leanness, though I know of people who have no problems reaching single digit body fat while including starch right up until competition time
