    Why not? The usa passed a law requiring a fruit to be a vegetable (the tomato). It’s anything goes when constructing their brave new world.

      “Vegetable” isn’t a botanical term, and I doubt something like cucumber or corn or snow peas would get the same pushback. The legal designation matters for taxation and is totally normal.
