        Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Aren’t fruits subsets of vegetables? Without looking it up I thought that vegetables were the edible part of the plant and fruits are edible reproductive parts of the plant. I could be totally off on that though.
Yea, you're totally correct. This whole confusion comes from a Supreme Court case that involved tariffs though... Basically, tomatoes are a staple good and should be taxed like a regular vegetable and not receive the elevated fruit tax.
