Also, for those of you wondering about corn. It's considered a grain. The cob is the fruit and the corn is the seed. So, corn is a fruit but you only eat the grain.

Green beans are also fruits.

I watched an interesting documentary concerning Intelligent Desgin versus Evolution last weekend...A Flock of Dodos. Good viewing.

We were always in complete agreement that fruits have seeds.

"Vegetable" is not a scientific classification. But speaking in culinary or nutritional terms, vegetables include leaves, stems, roots, flowers, bulbs, seeds, fruits -- pretty much any part of a plant. I don't why you are trying to start an argument. I 100% agree with you.

Or was it...Flight of the Dodos? No matter, still interesting just the same.

We really don't agree. But, moving on.
There is a series on PBS called "Brief History of Disbelief", I recommend viewing it.
