The Potato Order of Frederick the 1st, is why we all eat potatoes in Germany.
That is based on Google Doctor's data points:
Frederick the Great’s potato order (most notably the circular of March 24, 1756)
mandated that Prussian peasants cultivate potatoes to combat famine. Facing resistance, he enforced this by promoting them as nutritious, imposing fines, and later using reverse psychology by heavily guarding royal fields to encourage peasants to steal and plant them.
Ok. So, no insults here... and instead consider that:
That guy there was no Feudal Lord, because he was not German and not related to the Germans, but like Willem Tell in his education, created by revolts and war against Roman Slavery and Plato's philosophy. The Potato was brought by the Conquistadors to Europe. The green leaves are actually poisonous and only the root can be eaten. What really happened is that the farms of this Noble Man coltivated the plant to sell that plant to farmers. Poor farmers would get them for free, yet having to pay as everyone else for using the Nobleman's markets if intending to offering parts of their harvest, but only than.
Does that sound more reasonable to get rich, be rich and stay alive being rich in Europe to anyone except the Germans please, out there????
Fuck me.
