Ignore Rice and Try Wild Potatoes

In the July 11, 2008 Science Journal, there are two articles which struck me as odd. And a good reason to eat potatoes. First off was "Arsenic and Paddy Rice" which was a scary article about the large amounts of inorganic arsenic finding its way into the watery rice fields and then into our food supply. They are working on a solution to reduce the amount to within acceptable limits, but in the meantime, you can eat potatoes. "Celebrating Spuds" is an article and accompanying photograph about the large and varied wild potatoes. They come in a variety of shapes and colors. I wonder if they have different flavors, too.
