  • 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 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!!!”
