Did you eat a potato or a dish that had a potato in it recently? You have Antoine-Augustin Parmentier to thank. Parmentier’s history as well as the history of the potato is interesting but you may find a little bit more interesting since you can learn how you can make thousands every month while working from your computer.
Parmentier lived in France in the 16th century. During that time the potato was known to the French as food for pigs only and not something people should eat. In fact, the French government made it illegal to grow potatoes out of fear that it caused Leprosy but Parmentier saw things a little differently.
When he was captured in the seven year war, he was forced to eat potatoes by his captors. He returned to France with a new and unique appreciation of the potato. He also saw that France and Europe were missing out on a crop that was nutritious and easy to grow.
So, Parmentier decided it was up to him to make the potato popular. He entered competitions to prove that the potato was a good source of nutrients. He hosted dinners where potato was a maid dish. He even posted guards around potato fields so that people would think whatever was in the field was valuable and then told the guards to accept bribes from people who wanted to steal what was growing inside.
The rest is history. Today the potato is one the most common sources of food in the world and several dishes are named after Parmentier because Parmentier thought outside of the box. He didn’t just try and sell potatoes and hope they would catch on. He didn’t go door to door and accept that few people wanted to try them. He did something that other people wouldn’t have thought to do.
Now, what does all of this have to do with you? If you want to make a fortune, you have to be like Parmentier. You have to be willing to try different approaches that others might not even consider. Now you have the chance to do that.
