Oh lord here we go

Haha me too… I mean a coconut is not really ‘dry’?

But when you translate “vegetable intake” to my language Danish it will have a totally different meaning. I am assuming that it means eating plant matter as you mention. I am wondering if it is a similar challenge in other languages. Because “grøntsag” will not be leaves of some tree in the Amazon, or tobacco, or a edible cactus.

It will just refer to that part that kids never eat from their dinner plate.

I guess there is a reason why it is not a very scientific language 😅

I mean they’re not really that different, right?

I always heard that biologically vegetables doesn’t exist. Everything is fruit. (Except grain, flowers, the obvious)

So what are potatoes? That just a tuberculo.

Carrot? Just a root. Yes it’s edible to humans but biologists don’t really care because everything is edible to something.

Disclaimer: not a biologist, just a dude tired of people violently interrupting me to tell me that “akschually a strawberry is a nut!!!”

Spanish doesn’t have a word for nuts, they just say “dried fruit”.

Leave my granny out of this godamnit

You should rather pity them. It’s like Platon’s Shadow Cave, they’ve been fed lies, their entire lives, the few of them that actually get out of the USA will know the difference… The sad thing is that if you try to convince the ones that have never left the country, they will die rather than admit defeat.

And thus it happened. There were peace for a hundred years.
