Left sweet potato:
"Hey kiddo, lemmi share with you some tricks of the trade... "

Right sweet potato: *puzzled look*

Left sweet potato:
"Ahh.. the young innocent yam.. You should make yourself stand out of your crowd of cousins, then the human hand will choose you... to complete our clan's most ultimate and noble task - transforming into soul-lifting delicacies!

So to start off with, you really have to get loads of water, and feel heavy for your size so that more nutrients can be packed in those creamy yellow flesh of yours. Then try not to bruise yourself with some senseless fight with your near cousins; bruises are detrimental to your health and may allow some unknown pathogen to wreck havoc in you! Lastly, get out of the sun so that you don't sprout so quickly, since sprouting can generate very very toxic substances."

Left sweet potato: *nodding head*

Right sweet potato:
"Now, do you know why we are so sought after?"

Left sweet potato: *puzzled look again*

Right sweet potato:
"That's really cute. Ok, let me enlighten you further. As starchy non-fat beings like our savoury white cousins, the potatoes, we impart bulk and keep the human satiated for hours. However, we beat our cousins flat when it comes to nutrition! We are packed with additional nutrients like beta carotene, potassium and vitamin C! This means that we have the potential to guard against diseases like cancer and heart diseases, as well as inflammation! How cool is that?"

Left sweet potato: *nodding head*

Right sweet potato:
"Ok, now you appear to know more about our clan.. Hurry go do your stuff!"

Left sweet potato: *puzzled look once again*

Right sweet potato: "..."
