Worldwide Survival Foods:Potatoes and coconuts

I know it may sound odd to you but one can live on baked potatoes without anything else as long as they eat the peels too. The only other single thing that I know of that one can survive on indefinitely is coconuts. However, surviving on coconuts is less pleasant because they are very laxative. However, it can be done if you live right where the coconuts are grown and can eat them at every stage of maturity from young to old.

Also, potatoes can be grown almost anywhere on earth as well. All you need is some good protected ground and water and some sunlight. Potatoes could also be grown in greenhouses in very cold climates. Also, most old potatoes even in your refrigerator or cold cellar will start sprouting after a while. The sprouted ones can be planted and grow more potatoes. Also, remember potatoes are sort of like carrots in that the potato forms underground. In addition, potatoes, carrots and apples are best if the ground you grow them in hasn't been exposed to pesticides or herbicides because the pesticides and herbicides are absorbed directly into the food itself of potatoes, carrots and apples. The higher the quality of earth and water you use to grow them in the better results you will have.

However, many experiments have been done showing that a potato is a good thing to live on without anything else but water as long as it is baked. One can bake it in an oven or just build a fire and with the coals bury the potato in with the coals. However, to protect the potato it is better to have aluminum foil to help protect the potato from burning in the coals. If your survival depends on this experiment with different techniques until you get it right.

One can also make bread from potatoes mixed with wheat flour or other ground grains.
Though one might wish to eat other things as well, potatoes can keep you and your family alive until world conditions get better.
