First, it was Belgians who were asked to double down on their potato consumption, now Canada's spud producers say they wouldn't mind if we do the same.
With restaurants closed, Canadian farmers have been forced to freeze nearly 200 million pounds of potatoes destined to become french fries because there is no one to buy them.
Kevin MacIsaac, with the United Potato Growers of Canada, says while sales of potato chips and fresh potatoes sold in grocery stores are up, the problem lies with all of the potatoes grown specifically for french fries.
He notes roughly three-quarters of potatoes in Canada are eaten in fast food restaurants, like McDonald’s.
