Is Corn a Fruit, Vegetable, or Grain?
We all know the is-a-tomato-a-fruit debate (the answer is yes, but you still shouldn’t put it in a fruit salad). Now we’d like to bring you a whole new botanical question you never knew you had: Is corn a fruit or a vegetable—or is it a grain? The answer is…complicated. It has to do with…

Pokémon vs. Same-Weight Animals – 3D Comparison
If Pokémon existed in the wild, which animals would be in their weight class? We used the Pokédex to find the exact weights of 11 of our favorite Pokémon, and then we matched them up in a 3D comparison with animals that share the same weights. Pokémon size doesn’t factor in to the calculations —…

I thought it is a grain, because it is a grass.

My thinking exactly. It grows and forms identically to other grass grainheads; we just eat it before it hardens. Not much of a debate.

We should call it what the scientists say it is and not perpetuate inaccurate language.

*ALSO* : the reason 🌽 looks the way it does is because of – wait for it – genetic modification.
GMOs 🔬 are *NOT* the problem.
(Monsanto is an evil company, but GMOs are a great science that will feed us all.)

Perhaps they will, but decades of massive investment to prevent research which would clearly and unequivocally establish their safety seems worth considering, IMO.

Regardless of Monsanto and what they have done. Almost all modern fruits and vegetables today are a GMO. Even the ones they say aren’t. because the selective breading of plants is the beginning of being genetically modified, not just taking a tomato and adding a gene from fish to make it more tolerant to frost. Almonds, those are GMO’s too. They are California’s number 1 export. Almonds are a genetically modified peach designed to have a larger seed and no fleshy sweet fruit. So, next time you are in the grocery store or parroting the produce in an ad and you read anything about something being organic or non GMO, just know its pretty much all bullshit. Organic has to do with how its grown(no pesticides, etc.), and anything identified as a non GMO is false.

@The Casual Gamer When evidence is presented that the term GMO was used prior to artificial genetic modification accomplished using biotechnology, I will consider such a position to have some small validity.
Until then, this argument seems to be almost exclusively used within false equivalence fallacies in unjustified support of minimizing consideration of risk, as is the case here.
This is not to say that many risk assessments of GMOs are not paranoid or otherwise poorly founded…they certainly have their share of fallacious arguments as well.

Some varieties of corn are really good and tasty freshly picked and shucked in the field . . . no cooking required.

considering I am a agriculture major, I already knew the answer to this question… there are many other fruit/vegetable mixes that can be arguable towards either a fruit or a vegetable. to name a few, artichoke, broccoli and cauliflower. I feel like they should have the basics of what is and is not a fruit/vegetable in the produce departments of grocery stores. teach people a thing or 2 about their food and where it comes from. cuz people here in California, are real dumb when it comes to that stuff…
