This is a rewrite of the recently posted "Why don't you eat a potato?" by Radioactive Rads, done with their permission and feedback.

And if you would like to be as morally upstanding as Ruprecht Carter and do your part for the Enviroment, please consider setting Ecosia as your default search engine.

Each web search effectively sucks 1 kg of CO2 out of the air, and approximately every 45 searches plants a tree. #notsponsored.
