One potato....two potato.....one thousand potato?

Man eats nothing but potatoes for a year 

New York Post By Olivia Lambert,December 14, 2016 

This year, Andrew Taylor ate nothing but potatoes.

It was an extreme diet that at first was criticized. Some said it was an unhealthy approach to weight loss; others believed there was no way he’d last 12 months. But almost one year later, the Australian has proved you can survive on nothing but potatoes.

He vowed on Jan. 1 he would touch nothing but the starchy vegetable, and Taylor has lost more than 100 pounds and says he is a completely changed man.

“I was clinically depressed last year and eating potatoes has really helped me with that,” he told news.com.au.

“I am not taking any antidepressants and I feel like I’m completely over that and I’m sleeping better, too.

“Over the past 10 years, I’ve had joint pain from football injuries, but that’s gone away. Eating only potatoes has improved my life in more ways than I could ever imagine.”

Taylor, a Melbourne resident, confessed at the beginning of the year he had an addiction to food.

“Anyone who expresses an opinion that isn’t regarded as totally compliant with the Equality Act could find themselves ranked alongside Anjem Choudary, Islamic state or Boko Haram,” he (Simon Calvert, Deputy Director of the Christian Institute) said.

He added: “How many times a day do intellectually lazy political activists accuse their opponents of ‘spreading hatred’?

“The left does it, the right does it, liberals do it, conservatives do it, it is routine.

“Hand a judge a file of a thousand Twitter postings accusing this atheist or that evangelical of ‘spreading hatred’ and they could easily rule that an EDO (Extremism Disruption Order) is needed.

“It’s a crazy idea – the Conservatives need to drop this like a hot brick.”

Why would anybody want to hold a hot brick without a proper glove?


Never mind... smart-alecky internet.
