i want to start a big ruckus, i mean huge. if i can,
the thing is... what IS a fruit?
The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context, and the term is not synonymous in food preparation and biology. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds, and the presence of seeds indicates that a structure is most likely a fruit, though not all seeds come from fruits.[1]
No single terminology really fits the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits.
thats from wikipedia.
what i want to argue is... why not call squash and pumpkin a fruit? is it because they are not sweet? pumpkin and the raw seeds are so full of vitamins and fat. fruitarians(sp?) should not be ignoring this (fruit?
i would like to know if the fruitarians here are also eating squash and pumpkin for the iron they need?
im comming off a very sad diet so if my english is a little bad please excuse me.

This is a reply to # 1,436,550"Botanically, fruits are the edible parts of plants that result from the development of pollinated flowers, such as peaches, oranges, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, nuts, beans, peas, etc. Although, scientifically, beans, peas, nuts and other such articles of food, are classed as fruits, popularly such seed, because they do not possess an edible capsule (we do eat the green pods of the bean), are not considered as fruits. Botanically, the wheat grain or other cereal is a fruit." Herbert Shelton
