I know for a fact a couple guys in Vietnam used a few potatoes they found as a temporary silencer for their rifles to help get them out of a sticky situation, or otherwise the Viet Kong would have easily heard them fire their rifles.

A while ago when I was in school yet, our Sociology teacher posed a question( as many do) about a lifeboat with survivors on it; many on the boat were near death. One person was given the task of deciding how to ration water and food for all the survivors. This individual divided the rations amongst all of the survivors equally, even those who would perish anyway(human nature). However, by the end of this social experiment, I do recall... we all perished. There was not enough to ration out to all, so we ended up starved, dehydrated and then fish food.

You are allowed to have a very small portion of potatoes, every now and then. Call your local hospital, and speak with both the diabetic nurses, and the nutritionist. They may be able to give you a few sheets with what is good or bad for a person, and proper serving sizes.\n\nhttp://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?Id=2835 \nhttp://www.safenaturaltips.com/\netc \n\nHave your stepdad and mom try this recipe: \n\nCauliflower Mashed "Potatoes"\n\n1 head cauliflower\n1 clove garlic (optional)\n1/8 cup skim milk, plain yogurt, or good butter\nSalt & pepper\nPaprika\n\nThis is a great, low-carb alternate to mashed potatoes. I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, yet this tastes surprisingly good.\n\nSteam cauliflower (optionally with a clove of garlic) until tender. Cut the cauliflower into pieces and place in a blender with the milk, yogurt or butter. Season with salt and pepper and then whip until smooth. Pour cauliflower into small baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika and bake in hot oven until bubbly.\n\nCarbohydrates: 6g per cup

It all depends on who you ask.  \n\nPotatoes definitely, especially white potatoes.  No matter how you prepare them, they are very high carb and can keep you craving carbs if you eat them too often.\n\nSome say avoid avocados because of the fat content.  I say they're loaded with healthy nutrients, and better an avocado than a pint of Haagen Dazs if you need a special treat that is very satisfying.  \n\nAnd some, like South Beach diet, say limit fruits.  I don't have a problem with 2-3 servings of good fresh organic fruits a day, but be sure to eat whole fruits and not just drink the juice.  You need the fiber, and even too much natural fructose from juice sources can trigger carb cravings.

Potatoes grow in the ground and are not likely to be sprayed with pesticides.  The skin is quite nutritious.  So just wash them and cook them and eat them.

your description is a little short.  I think your asking about the GOOD SAMARITAN ACT. where as one party aides in the saving or protection of anothers property and/or person out of an act of kindness, and in by helping has either caused addition harm to the person 9even though you may have saved them from death) or created loss of propery in the process of trying to saving another.   Example:  A barn is burning. there are animals in the barn. potenial loss- barn and animals. action taken- drove farmers tractor through barn, freed animals and managed to saved 50% of barn.  But tractor was distroyed in process. Are you responsible for replacement of tractor? NO

Sweet potatoes is a distended root section of a vine. The vine has a flower and reproduces through fertilization and seeds.\n\nSweet Potatoes can be made to grow vegatatively by regrowth of a small portion of the root and this is the preferred method as it allows reproduction with an assured outcome.

potato or any cells soaked in HYPERTONIC 10% salt would be shriveled up, wilted or pickled, and lose water, aka dehydrate.  Technical term is PLASMOLYSIS in plants.  Osmosis of water would go from high water in the plant cells to low water in the space between the cell mbn and the cell wall, and into the beaker potato is soaked in, in an attempt to accomplish equalibrium.\n\nPlants soaked in HYPOTONIC pure water get maximum turgur water pressure and are all nice and firm-rigid from osmotic-turgor pressure, so they are not limp-wilted-pickled.

Everyone loves mashed potatoes...extra butter, salt and pepper. Yummy, the food of the gods.  Is that why you put it under religion? ha!

Probably a contribution of two things:\n\n1. oxidisation of the oxygen in the air\n2. the potato absorbing water from the air.
