Living in America, I dont want to base the extent of 'basic needs' of what impoverished people in Nigeria try to get buy on. I didnt know Milk and potatoes were so good for you, even so I wonder if a cheaper combination coupled with vitamins would be even cheaper. I agree. I think if people understood how much money they could save by cooking instead of picking up McDonalds or KFC, a lot of people would have more money and more healthy in the process. |
You'd be surprised. It's how the Irish "defeated" the british after they lost their war for independence.
It lacks only like one or two nessisary vitamins which are found in other cheap foods such as lentils.
It's also helpful that they're delicious and you can do tons of different things with them to make them different.
Interestingly too... if you cook potatoes and then let them cool they are healthier for you if your trying to lose weight. Not sure how that effects things nutrition wise though.
