Folks can say pretty much whatever they want about Idaho and the people who live here. Call us rednecks and we'll shrug our shoulders. Confuse us with Iowa and we'll chuckle. Heck, a stranger can even insinuate that we're a bunch of bigots plotting to return the country to 1796 and we'll shake our heads at his ignorance before slapping the poor fool on the back and buying him a bottle of Grape Nehi. But every Idahoan has a breaking point. We can only be pushed so far. And a study from the Harvard School of Public Health is enough to make the easiest-going Idahoan see red. The study, released last month and detailed in dubious publications such as USA Today and the Los Angeles Times, dared to besmirch our most treasured resource: the potato.

Question: Does it offend you when an outsider pokes fun at the Idaho potato?
