Yes indeed, and in dietary terms chestnuts make a fair potato substitute too:
Chestnuts: 5% protein, 10% fat, 25% carbohydrate, the rest water.
Potatoes: 5% fat, 10% protein, 25% carbohydrate, the rest water.
A near enough match.

Agreed, she is a disastrous product of the fast track campaign to recruit officers from university and give them accelerated promotion.
As one of them she was in charge of the bungled operation that led to innocent electrician Jean-Charles Menezes to be murdered by a Met Police officer who emptied seven bullets into his brain at point blank range, while Jean-Charles was pinned down by two fellow officers. They were not punished of course.
Of all the unbelievable things she was promoted to Assistant Commissioner for that, and shortly after to the Commissioner in total charge of the Met police. There have been far too many serious problems with the Met under her command and we need to rid of her and her incompetence.

I think policing is one of those industries where there is absolutely no substitute for experience and a successful track record. Academic qualifications are of virtually zero use or value.
Unfortunately, the two qualities I mentioned are way down the list below gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, ethnicity and political views. Next maybe comes academic qualifications, and finally whether you are actually capable or competent at the role.
Other thing I noticed Danidl is low fat diet. I, ve spent most my life eating whatever I want, kept low cholesterol and good BMI... Then heart problems so everybody and their brother tells you low fat, healthy eating etc etc. Which I did but came to conclusion it was adding to my lethargy... So now, if I know I, m sailing or biking following day.... I eat what I want and as much as I want. BMI gone back up a bit (cholesterol hasn't) but I feel loads stronger and less lethargic. Friend of mine on 2.5mg Bisoprolol says he doesn't know how I cope on 10mg... Tell him I didn't for 2 months but now I say stuff diet, take tablets at night and benefit from sailing/biking.. (even in AF, which I am at moment, I can windsurf for 2 or 3 hrs or ebike for 25 miles). Amazes my consultant but he says if you can do it... Do it.. But if it hurts or you are severely tired stop.
Remember when first on Bisoprolol sailing for an hour, could hardly walk up beach and at van was so tired I couldn't chew.
That's when I thought it time to change regime but still take tablets... (and eat sensibly but not that so)
Good luck.. We are all different.
PS
I tried HR monitor. It frightened me to death. Said I was dying so stopped wearing it... Daughter (now a Station manager but was first responder in FS) took my pulse and said if I was in an accident and she took pulse she, d have me taken straight to hospital. AF is weird but the one that knows these things says it won't stop. But then again if it does I won't be complaining to him.. I, ve got used to having no pulse for 5 seconds and then 2 lots for next 10..Had it 5 years or so now, very frightening at first... Amazing what we get used to.

Indeed, same with me for several years, but I've managed to stop it happening since the start of this year and also got rid of the tachycardia attacks and wild swings in blood pressure. The prevention is very limiting though.

Has he had his thyroid hormone levels checked? Low thyroid results in high cholesterol. A very well documented relationship that is all too often ignored.
(Note: Thyroid hormone levels - not just TSH.)
So he says:
UK electricity generation to be fossil fuel free by 2035, says Boris Johnson
Is that because we won't have any oil, gas or coal? Or just won't be able to deliver it.

Speaking of chestnuts. Dont want to engage in the politics of envy (am sure we should all be envious of the depraved relationships tory mp's have with the oligarchy, although I just cannot feel anything other than pity and contempt, for some reason); and I'm sure, as conservatives on the thread have pointed out, the sources of boris's untraceable funds are entirely his business (and nothing the electorate have any business with). But am I the only one who's at least somewhat astonished by the degree to which the government is owned by Russia?
Not at all surprised. Disgusted, yes.
Perhaps Cummings' Russian connections just weren't quite as strong as those of some others?
Eating raw sprouted nuts can be dodgy, depending on whether pathogens like ecoli are present. Sprouting reduces anti-nutrients, making vitamins and minerals more bioavailable. Fearful of the runs or hospitalisation, I usually cook them; cue quackery:
I'll ask him. I'll brave death by Covid to actually attend my appointment with the endocriminologist next week. Hope they have now test tubes available for blood tests...
It's Porsches that get you laid. I misheard and bought a porch. Didn't work.Genius at work here
For a cop, he seemed to have made errors too many - I wonder how many cops have got away with this crime undetected?

It'd be great if medical science knew why my immune system was attacking my thyroid gland (and my feet) in the first place! Maybe I wasn't designed to live too long and it's trying to digest me through a built in obsolescence system, to make way for the new iMe.

They're always promoting High Intensity Interval Training on the BBCs "Trust me, I'm a Doctor", without mentioning that it could kill you with a heart attack or stroke, if you're not young, already fit and healthy.
Plantar fasciitis -a compulsion to bury fascists? Nature has judged me. (Joking, joking)
Tesco delivered some brown lentils, which I have now sprouted.
1. Rinse a few times with cold water.
2. Soak for 12 hours in cold water.
3. Drain using the sprouting jars, invert the jars, walk away from the jars, leave the jars alone, stop mucking about with those jars!
4. Rinse gently until the water runs clear, three times a day for 3 or 4 days.
...now the question is, do I eat them raw? I've never had any problems, but you can't be too careful... I don't fancy an ecoli infection, on the other hand they taste nice: A bit nutty and sprouty:
Beansprouts taste nicer with a bit of salad dressing or soya sauce. They look about ready.

Sugar is the big problem, and when it's blood suger - wholegrain anything doesn't seem to slow down the conversion of carbs to blood sugar, by very much... I still get heart palpitations, if my blood sugar was low ie if hadn't eaten for about 12 hours.
Black tea, even cheap and nasty leaf tea, is surprisingly palatable (but substantially less so with milk); I keep forgetting to give up milk, but when I do it's pretty easy to get used to.
Did you see the story of the French one?
Paris serial killer of 80s and 90s was ex-police officer, DNA shows
François Vérove took his own life and mentioned crimes in suicide note after being called in for questioning

In my case, and I think this is common, the foot issues come about from a combination of mucinous deposits, changes to muscle and tendon mechanical characteristics, changes to ability of tissue to repaiir itself, possible changes to blood characteristics, etc. That is, PF seems to be a consequence of hypothyroidism which, all too often, is autoimmune in origin.
I have seen more in the recent past of research into actual causes - but still no clear-cut explanation..
