•  New enough.
• Long enough.
•  Well-sourced
•  No close paraphrasing detected.
•  Neutral tone.
•  The hook is properly formatted, short enough, neutral and particularly interesting as it appears to be one the earliest instances of use of the word potato to describe someone of sedentary habits. (As an aside the phrase couch potato was first used in 1979 according to OED.)
•  QPQ done
• Overall no problems and looks good to go. Papamac (talk) 21:16, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
