Arguably, the curtent US political system could be described as two 1 party systems alternating in power rather than a 2 party system.

Tesla sells their EVs as technical avantgarde and elitist sports cars. When EVs become commonplace, they’ll face serious competition. People won’t be content with their mediocre build quality and terrible ergonomics any longer. Musk countering EV subsidies is deeply based in reality.

Maybe the glycoalkaloid content differs between potatoe sorts? I have used sprouted potatoes my whole life without any issues whatsoever. Might have been just lucky that our potatoes are low on glycoalkakoids?

Ok – this is the official statement of the German Federal Agency for Risk Assessment.

TL;DR

• there have been only a couple of reports of glycoalkaloid poisoning through potatoe consumption during the last 100 years.
• sprouts, green parts and the skin of potatoes contain glycoalcaloids.
• cooking reduces glycoalcaloids.
• peeled and cooked potatoes are safe to eat.

Culinary preferences might make the difference: in Germany potatoes are eaten peeled = very low risk of poisoning, while my Canadian host family ate potatoes with their skin = slightly higher risk of poisoning, especially if you cut out sprouts but leave the skin.

It’s not a meme.
