It is not potatoes that make children fat; it has nothing to do with school lunches.

It is what they eat out of school and what they drink. These children should be out running and playing games and stay away from the television.

Potatoes are very good for you. They have as much potassium as a banana. We ate potatoes daily while growing up and we still do, and we are not fat. We keep busy and off the couch looking at TV.
