[DEFEATED] Repeal: “On the supremacy of the Potato”

Security Council Resolution #419 “On the supremacy of the Potato” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The Security Council,

Recognizing the versatility of potatoes as a base for many dishes,

Concerned however, for the blood pressure and cholesterol levels of the worlds citizens, as potatoes may be prepared in a variety of unhealthy ways, such as deep frying or chips,

Noting that the resolution does not note the difference between healthy and unhealthy potatoes, and may lead the reader into making unsound dietary choices,

Skeptical of the noteworthiness of the Potato Alliance, which has never attained victory in a single Nuclear Event,

Questioning the effectiveness of “Direct Potato Distribution”, and troubled by the resolutions failure to mention the destruction caused to nations which were recipient to it,

Observing that potatoes are not of particular national importance as nations are often confronted with issues relating to a variety of foodstuffs, including Pasta, Soda, and Chicken,

Aghast that the proposal may alienate nations and cultures which do not feature the potato as part of their cuisine, and frightened that it may legitimize discrimination against them,

Dismayed by the declaration of potatoes as a universal “symbol of friendship and unity” known to all, when there are most certainly cultures participant in the World Assembly that do not ascribe them this meaning,

Acknowledging The Salaxalans’ large artwork collection, but remarking that many large collections of international artwork grouped by theme exist, such as Eagle Heraldry by Apexiala, containing over 3000 pieces, making the potato collection relatively benign,

Doubtful of the long term prominence of potatoes that the declaration promised,

Not wishing to dismiss the fantastic contributions of Potato themed regions and nations such as Spiritus, but recognizing they have been Commended directly in separate resolutions,

Believing it redundant for the Security Council to have declared an official food without any enforcement mechanism at its disposal,

Convinced that agriculture and humanitarian nutrition are issues best left at the helm of the General Assembly,

Asserting that the World Assembly should work to foster equality and diversity among peoples and nations in the multiverse, and elevating a food and cuisine to a status of supremacy above all others, works counter to that mission,

Hereby repeals “On The Supremacy Of The Potato”
