I hate when people say that something is healthy because it has "nutrients". I mean, yeah, it's probably true but everything has nutrients. And of course there are supplements and stuff which are literally pure nutrients.

on the other side of the spectrum there's "healthy is when salad" which also drives me up the wall

the worst part is that healthy food can mostly be described by "avoid sugar and pre-processed stuff as much as possible, eat as much whole-grain and vegetables as possible", but i guess that's one comma too much for readers to engage with..

Return to plant, harvest energy from the sun and nutrients from the soil

Could'a been sweet potatoes. He didn't know.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Aren't sweet potatoes root tubers?

Carrots are also roots.

Vegetables are “parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food.”

Sweet potatoes are both tubers and vegetables.

By this definition, grass and tree bark are vegetables
