I read this in Tina's 'Root of All Evil' thread and I feel it needs a reply!

This I cannot answer. But because the potato has provided a lot of nourishment over the years, and since I have to eat a ton of carbs.. I naturally gravitate to the amazing taste that only a potato can provide (Rice can only go so far!).
So in this way the potato is good. Unless its plans are to get me hooked and then disappear at some inopportune time.
Who knows?
I also believe that the potato is closer in touch with the framework of our reality than our minds are. But then again so is a rock, but wouldn't a rock be a potato too?
Our minds would be a potato as well, but the product of our minds would be different, more in the lines of creating potatoes.
