Question

It is February. The day is Sunday. I ate 2 potatoes everyday for 1 month. During every Saturday I didn't eat 1 potato. If at the last day my friend came and ate 1 and a half potatoes of mine, how many total potatoes did I eat?​

Answer 1

Potatoes are the most commonly consumed vegetable in the U.S., yet they often get a bad rap. Most are eaten the form of fries or chips, so many people consider them an unhealthy food.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Eating one medium-size potato a day can be part of a healthy diet and doesn’t increase cardiometabolic risk — the chances of having diabetes, heart disease or stroke — as long as the potato is steamed or baked, and prepared without adding too much salt or saturated fat, a study by nutritionists at The Pennsylvania State University found.
