      Yeah exactly, people arguing whether dragon fruit or some shit is a “super food”. The super food is right in front of us, potatoes (and onions).

      What other food has been so vital to our survival that its disappearance could ravage a population (Irish potato famine)

      No offense to dragon fruit, blue berries or whatever exotic fruit, but if they went extinct, not that much could change.

        Obligatory Irish potato famine was a result of British policy. But I agree with your sentiment
