    They weren’t for off when they showed survival on Mars with just potatoes and vitamine pills. Potstoes are amazing, just not balanced, so add the necessary vitamins and minerals externally and you can survive for a very very long time on “just” potatoes.

      Wait a second. Survival on Mars? And who are “they”?

        Oh sorry, I meant The Martian, the novel (and/or movie) about someone surviving on Mars. It prominently shows a potato+vitamins diet, and I remember it was one of the bigger questions at the time the movie came out as to whether that would actually work or not. But, turns out, potatoes are really cool.

          Oh, thanks. I was thinking “am I so out of touch with reality that I missed the man landing on Mars?” ><
