Oh, are we moving the goalposts to nutrition? Because here's some info about STARCHY VS NON-STARCHY VEGETABLES https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/starchy-vs-non-starchy-vegetables#definition
Even the meme in the OP is about nutrition and is being tongue in cheek by stretching the definition of vegetable to potatoes. That's literally the joke...
My comment on the OP was addressing nutrition, obviously.
Ah yes, famed nutritionist Martha Stewart 🤡
Exactly the joke...
It's where the goalpost has always been. Food is about nutrition, see my other comment where I define vegetables based on food groups
A potato objectively is not a vegetable, culinarily
See this is why you're arguing with everyone and coming across as (at best) a troll
you've defined your position to be correct, which of course means in your world you cannot possibly be wrong.
I was asked to give my definition of a vegetable.
I was only referencing that as evidence that my comments have always been in the context of nutrition, in response to being wrongly accused of moving the goalpost when the other commenter's argument fell apart.
If you eat a baked potato, have you eaten a daily serving of vegetables? Yes or no? I'm literally just correct
I mean you could eat a pizza and eat your daily serving of vegetables, but despite the memes from 10 years ago I don't think anyone would seriously consider a pizza to be a vegetable.
You could also just take vitamins and fiber supplements and do the same thing. If you drink a smoothie of multivitamins and metamucil, have you eaten your daily serving of vegetables?
