In general organic food isn't healthier. Healthy foods like potatoes, rice, beans, apples, chicken, and canned vegetables are cheaply available almost everywhere.



Just curious what nutritional value beyond a large amount of carbohydrates do potatoes and rice have?


They're not the most per-calorie dense foods out there but they offer plenty of nutrients. https://www.quora.com/Are-boiled-potatoes-healthier-than-ste...

Nobody is saying make these the primary source of your calories (even though you can as a majority of the world gets by just fine with lots of rice and potatoes)
