there is no type of plant called "vegetable." Vegetables mean the sort of plants we eat with the main course of the dinner, not for desert.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that it is a fruit botantically and a vegetable in common speech, and the law distinguishing between fruits and vegetables was using the ordinary meaning.
The Supreme Court would have had difficulty leaving it to the FDA which had not been created when it ruled. (IIRC.) Besides, the FDA certainly doesn't handle custom duties.
In response to Mary's comment: Really? Fruit vs Vegetable went all the way to the US Supreme Court? ;[ And we wonder why there is no "real" justice. ;p
The Definition of Fruit vs. Vegetable, from a concerned citizen.
@Captian LeBubbles sorry if this is TLDR
containing seeds does not make a fruit a berry. containing seeds is what makes a berry a fruit. The difference between most vegetables and fruits is that vegetables depend on root propagation and shoot growth (when a chunk of the plant falls off and then grows into a new plant) to reproduce. Fruit depends on the spread of its seeds to reproduce. Whether the seeds fall off the outside (like on strawberries) or as their eaten animals deposit the seeds elsewhere (like apples) or the wind carries the seeds off the trees and plants them elsewhere (i believe this is true for bananas). I'm pretty sure I'm more than 90% accurate but if you're really curious you should look it up!
Guys, Psudonym is alive and well.
She is currently focusing on other projects, namely a comic (written by Gunwild) which the two of them plan to see printed.
She's still in the business; check her user account, and you'll find her tumblr.
She has a livestream page, which she streams on roughly five times a week.
This strip is on hiatus. Not dead, but on hiatus.
Well I'm glad the artist is well! I thought something had happened to her =S
I'm fine with this Hiatus and I hope she and Gunwild achieve their goal. !

That sounds like the kind of issue the Supreme Court needs to leave to the FDA.

How does Guy take his coffee and what blend does he like?

Pizza sauce is a vegetable? It sound more like a sauce to me.
Err, I din't know about the Supreme Court sayiing that. Instead we have the reasoning that tomatoes are fruits because they cntain the seeds.

Containing seeds means that they're berries, then. (THINGS I LEARNED FROM QI.)
