1.       Eat Those White Potatoes?
By: Allison Winter



In this article, the author states that most produce rich in color contain nutrient packed pigments provide energy and benefit our bodies. We are supposed to have three to five fruits and vegetables daily. According to a new study, potatoes and other white vegetables are important in a healthy diet as they obtain lots of nutrients just like other vegetables. The color of the vegetable does not identify the amount of nutrients the vegetable obtains. In the United States, the vegetable intake is very low as it is almost half of what it should be. We should all eat more vegetables, but we should also consider how we cook them. Do not coat them in lots of oils and coatings when cooking them.
