Of course, advocates of safe starch are not recommending replacing steak with potatoes. More like as a replacement of gratuitous coconut oil, bacon grease, walnuts I guess – the possibilities are many.

Oh and as Don and Stephan (1, 2, 3) (and the Kitavans, by some accounts) showed, one can live on safe starches.

For the record – I eat lots of steak and lots of sweet potatoes.
