Yeah, I mean, it's in some cases or actually in a lot of cases, especially historically speaking and still in some places today, it's sort of the de facto diet because that's what you have. And you may not have the kind of money to like go get really good meat or something like that.

So if you look back through time and you go back to, say, like Ireland in the 19th century before the potato famine, they were eating tons of potatoes.

You know, if you look at the U.S. in the 19th century, They were roundly encouraging that people eat lots and lots of meat.
