I've always wonder which one of the two we consume more.

Tomatoes or Potatoes?

[mmmk]

I think we consume more potatoes than we do tomatoes...

[Culture_Vulture]

In North America,
likely potatoes.

I even have a recipe book strictly on cooking potatoes :D

[Armind]

As whole world not just North America xD

[azzurro32]

ya. specially with mcdicks, burger king, etc.

you'll never see a large order of french tomato's lol

[Armind]

Well, what about tomatoe sauce for pizza/pasta/ketchup and crap like that =\

[FiveDime]

Im going to say tomato's as the worlds #1 condiment is salsa then #2 ketchup

[Culture_Vulture]

on a global scale,
I think it'd be a toss up.

Potatoes for main dishes and snacks, and tomatoes for everything in between.

[van_driver]

I'd say tomatoes

[AzNightmare]

French Fries + Chips. I think Potatoes.

[Mananetwork]

Is poonani part of the tomato or potato category, because I need to stop eating so much of it!

[325ist]

I think Those who eat healthier eat more tomatoes and those who eat poorly eat more potatoes.....so in north america I would say people eat more potatoes! and what is poonani??

I know marathon runners who eat a sack of potatoes within a week. If your training, their very nutritious.

Btw, Poonani is a magical fruit!

[MelonBoy]

Tomatoes. I used to work in a produce department. We sold twice as many tomatoes as potatoes.

[alex.w *//]

Potatoes, its a staple food. As where tomatoes are not.

[Amuse]

So what chemicals does China put in their veggies or soil so they grow so much?
The veggies here don't come from China right?

[Blinky]

This. It should be obvious.

Probably the same chemicals that are used here.

Some fruits and vegetables that you buy here are grown over there. Those tiny little mandarins are from China, as is a lot of garlic and ginger. I've also seen snow peas marked as "produce of China".

[hotjoint]

i would say potatoes
