Disappointed as well that potatoes 🥔 were excluded.

Disappointed not to see potatoes 🥔🥔 not being included in the new #planetarydiet recommendations today.... better water conversion than rice and pasta during production, full of energy, vitamins and fibre...... what more can you ask for as part of a balanced diet?🥔🥔

Grocery retailers care so much about food waste they increased minimum weights leaving more product in the field.
