the pyramid isnt about serving size, its about having everything.

a fruit is a structure of a plant that contains its seeds.
Legumes contain seeds, a pea is contained in a legume, the pea is a vegetable, the pod is a fruit.

I understand this more than most. I changed my diet 3-4 months ago, eating more fruits for natural sugars, certain portions of meat that aren't too fatty, and limiting carb intake. The reason I'm limiting my carb intake is so that I could lose weight (which I've lost 80lbs after 3-4 months of just eating healthy). The high amounts of refined sugars, excessive amounts of grease, and large portions of carbs people do eat on a daily basis is not healthy. A single slice of pizza may not be horrible once in a while, but you can't expect to eat it once a day, every day, and expect to be healthy without cutting other things out of your diet to compensate. I'm sure some pizza is made healthier than others as well, but if pizza was healthy I'd be able too eat it to lose weight.

Literally Google bean, legume, etc, and it will tell you it's a fruit.

[jookbox :D]

Well then, certainly we need more cartoons to tickle our fancies!


Dammit. I hate blurryness.

The first layer of the bean is a fruit, the seed inside is the vegetable.

I am confuse.

The seed is a seed. It's not a vegetable, it's a seed. Is a sunflower seed a vegetable? No, it's a seed. They are only ever considered vegetables in cooking. It's the same with pumpkins, they are considered vegetables in cooking, but are actually berries.

This will be our food pyramid one day.

[Trogtor]

Vegetable = Edible plants that grows directly from the ground

Fruits = Edible plants that grow from a tree, vine, bush, ect.

Tomato = Grows on a vine = Fruit

Congress = Grows from the ground = Vegetable

[Mega-Bear]

This is fake as hell. Just another gag video to stereotype America as "That place where fat people live".

Why not go and make EVERYTHING that has vegetables in it, into a vegetable. Slapping a label on it wont make it healthier..

Edit: I hate it when I start a new page..

I wonder why it's all over the news where I live then.

The Congress gets more stupid by the day.

They did it so school kids don't have to eat untasty health food. Even if it is dumb to classify pizza as a vegetable, they're doing us good.
