@sexyanimeloli_ @TheWarKitchen Yes, I'm familiar with people lying on the internet, that's already why we're here. You ever tried this yourself? Even if every square inch of a 1/4-acre were dedicated to the highest density potatoes possible you'd barely have enough calories to feed a single person.
