A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Is there even a botanical definition of vegetables?
A pdf to clear it up, and confuse you more... maybe. https://wpcdn.web.wsu.edu/wp-extension/uploads/sites/2073/2020/04/Is-it-a-Fruit-or-a-Vegetable.pdf
That just defines fruit. Vegetable has no formal definition, and in practice is defined basically as "parts of plants we eat that aren't considered fruits or nuts."
No. What is or isn't a vegetable is determined entirely by whether we collectively consider any given plant or plant part a food item.
