Gov. Otter Defends Spuds From Harvard Nutritionists
Published at
Gov. Butch Otter is defending Idaho potatoes after a recent study linked spuds to weight gain. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published an article taking a shot at potatoes, citing them as an unhealthy food that could cause potential health problems. Otter responded by saying that eating any foods irresponsibly without diet and exercise will cause the same problems, claiming Idaho’s prize crop was unfairly singled out.
