Potatoes are not nutrient-dense relative to the food I eat. 100 Calories of e.g. spinach contain many times the minerals and vitamins contained in 100 grams of potatoes.

Peanuts are not very bad per se, but the opportunity costs of eating them are too high for me, since they substitute other, better nuts from my "nuts" budget (e.g. walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts).
