Chris spent 60 days eating nothing but potatoes to prove how incredibly healthy they are. His efforts resonated with potato lovers around the world, and he ended up doing over 300 media interviews discussing how he got healthier eating nothing but potatoes. When Chris isn’t eating potatoes, he spends his time facilitating potato research that focuses on growing more food while using less resources.
