Well, the usa passed a law that makes a tomato a vegetable instead of a fruit, so labels don't mean much there (neither does law anymore), so who knows? I agree though because of the "walks like a duck" logic.
"Vegetable" isn't a real scientific term
There is a definition of a fruit though, and it is understood that vegetables are not fruit. As I understand it.
Sure, but tomatoes are a fruit botanically (more precisely, a berry). "Vegetable" is a culinary term, and has no real strict definition beyond "a plant grown to be eaten", so a tomato falls squarely into being a berry, a fruit, and a vegetable.
As far as I'm aware, the supreme court made a ruling on that, but that's not the same as passing a law. Are you conflating the two or do you have additional sources? Because I can't find any evidence that was made a law.
No, just something I heard or read a long time ago. If not a law, some sort of official status or recognition anyway.
Which is not remotely the same thing as passing a law.
Thanks for the confirmation!
