BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) -- "Yum! They're all made from potatoes!" squealed nine-year-old Li Minghan while running around snack stands at the just-concluded World Potato Congress in Beijing.


The girl vowed to try drinks Mario Edwards Jr Raiders Jersey , noodles and even ice cream made from potatoes at the event, staged as China tries to stave off a potential food crisis by persuading its population of the merits of the humble spud as an alternative to rice and wheat.


"Potatoes originated from south America. They can survive in harsh conditions," said Li, displaying the knowledge that helped her win a school science competition themed around potatoes.


French fries are Li's favorite food. Some of her earliest memories are of eating fries in McDonald's and KFC as the fast food craze swept China.


Authorities must wish that everyone had such fond recollections of eating potatoes. For the older generation, they are associated with desperate hunger.


Li's grandma, Jia Zhongning Karl Joseph Raiders Jersey , ate potatoes for every single meal in 1972 when she worked in a poverty-stricken part of Sichuan Province.


"We roasted them over the fire or boiled them," the retired biology teacher said. "They had to feed many people."


Jia and many Chinese who lived through the 60s and 70s could be forgiven for never wanting to see another potato. As if that wasn't enough of a negative perception for the authorities' promotional campaign to dismantle, many in China believe that potatoes are unhealthy.
