Baked or fried, boiled or roasted, as chips or fries; at some point in your life youve probably eaten a potato. But potatoes have played a much more significant role in our history than just that of the dietary staple we have come to know and love today. Leo Bear-McGuinness shares how without the potato, our modern civilization might not exist at all. Lesson by Leo Bear-McGuinness Itsyaboi_Petgamer: Ok so I watched the chocolate, cheese and now the potato

Henry the 8th ate Sweet potato pies constantly, and it was in Vogue with British and Spanish aristocracy until at least the late 17th Century. Also, the White potato was imported to Europe much later to an undivided Ireland. Finally, potatoes of many varieties were cultivated and eaten by hundreds of native American tribes long before the colonizer arrivals. I'm disappointed in Ted-Ed, which is rare. You couldn't make this video 20 seconds longer?

Ancient peoples from Andes spent millennia patiently transforming the plant, which was poisoning in its original version. They didn't just cultivated it. They domesticated the plants.

History through the eyes of a potato
Me: Eyes? They can see? Imagine seeing your relatives cut, roasted, fried, dipped, mashed and eaten raw! God I don't wanna be a potato!

Me before watching this video- potatoes are only for fries so they are not very important.
Me after watching this video- Ima start the cult of potatoes.
