The fact that somebody is eating nothing but potatoes for two months is bad enough, but Chris Voigt, an executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission, has pledged to eat the potatoes with no toppings!
And in case you were wondering, the number of potatoes he will have to eat a day to meet his caloric needs is 20!
The point Voigt is attempting to prove is that potatoes are healthy for you, which is a claim that isn’t mainstream among fitness experts.
“I want to show the world that the potato is so healthy that you could live off them alone for an extended period of time without any negative impact to your health,” Voigt explained.
We admire his devotion to potatoes, we might recommend at least a little salt!
