Apparently Russia's not even in the top 10 countries for potato consumption! There goes that stereotype. Top country? C'mon, you know this! Belarus. 😁 worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...

Potatoes are nutritious, they have a good proportion of quality protein. I'm backing Belarus to stay out of the war and not have mass starvation when it ends.

Especially as many people in the rural areas grow their own. It's an excellent investment. Put one potato in the ground in early May and by mid-August you pull out 5-10 potatoes! Show me the Wall Street investment that reliably makes 500%!

Not just in the rural areas, many urban dwellers have a dacha or a plot in a gardening collective. Lukashenko warned his people earlier this year to grow potatoes, cabbages and onions.

It's the same in parts of Canada, where people still remember hungry times.
