I don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't booze..... I am such a saint that I do not even have a 'I-hate-this-vegetable' food quirk.... (My limited weaknesses include Soft Drinks (P.E.P.S.I.) and Non-vegetarian food....) So, when my doctor asked me to go off Potatoes completely, it has left me flummoxed. Though I have dropped it from my daily menu, how can the world's favourite vegetable be my bete noire? I have seen people with pathetic sense of balanced diet, producing children by the handful. And I got bowled over by a tub of carbohydrates? In India, people sleep by the roads, by the wells, by the trees, by the skyscrapers, by the huts, by the airports, by the railway platform, by the middle-of-nowhere and still have kids. And I sleep nowhere close to these places, yet my diet is one of the contributing factors(??).
