    seriously though. are potatoes really classified as a vegetable?

    i think tubers should have their own classification altogether.

    The problem is that the government is going to classify french fries as a "fresh" vegetable, in the same category as tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli, etc...

    What riles me up is that something can be classified as a fresh vegetable for commerce but not for nutrition. I mean, cue Gilbert Gottfried here:

    WHAT THE FUCK?

    A fresh vegetable is either a fresh vegetable or it is not.

    Fucking Bush Administration big business handouts.

    just a nod to the Reagan administration when they marked ketchup as a fresh vegetable too.
