      Kellogg Sales Company has misrepresented a number of MorningStar Farms products in that their predominant non-water ingredient is not vegetables, or even vegetable-based, as consumers are led to believe, but grain or oil, a proposed class action claims.

      Also I didn’t know Kellogg owned morningstar lol

        I understand why these labeling wars happen - but it is very sad to me that so much time, money, and energy goes into pedantic disputes to marginally improve consumer attitude towards our slop.

        Nearly every "good" food brand for organic or vegan products is owned by one of the massive food corporations.

              Don't worry too much about how people classify different plant foods. The botanic definition is the only one that's actually consistent and well defined (legumes are fruits or seeds), and it's also the most useless for regular conversation (an ear of corn is a fruit).

                If you want to be a huge hit at parties, an ear of corn is technically an infructescence, while the individual grains are fruits (caryopsis).

                I have no idea. I feel like vegetables in some sense are things like broccoli, carrots, eggplant, whatever, and stuff like lettuce and spinach are not "vegetables" but they're still vegetable. Anyone giving nutrition advice must have a headache trying to generalise.

                  Yeah classification is probably bogged down by old food pyramid era-terminologies, makes figuring out what is and isn't good for you pretty difficult.
