And grain is a subcategory of vegetable. This is the same argument that saturated fat and fat are different just because dieticians recommend different amounts to consume.

Wheat would probably be my top crop, with corn not too far behind. I can't imagine what my worst is, as "crop" is such a broad term.

just watch the fucking video. No one cares what your actual favorite crop is you fuckin nerds

Plant =/= vegetable.

For example, the rubber tree.

Corn seed is actually a vegetable, a grain, and a fruit. Corn seed is a vegetable because it is harvested for eating. (Usually sweet corn when grain is harvested at the milk stage.) Corn seed is a grain because it is a dry seed of a grass species.

cut and paste from a simple Google search.

Potatoes are tubers, so they are a root vegetable.

How could dietitians recommend different amounts if they weren't separate things?

5g of fat, 3g of which are saturated. This means 3g is saturated and 2g is unsaturated. You are eating 5g of fat and 3g of unsaturated, but they entirely overlap so you don't intake more than 5g of fat.

This is how subsets work.

You're not demonstrating how saturated fat and fat are 'not different'. You are continuing to describe them as two different things. Just because fat is an umbrella that includes saturated and unsaturated doesn't mean that all fat is the same. Squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Are you saying that saturated fat isn't a subset of fat? Everything in the fat category is a fat and can only take up a portion of what fat is.

No, I never said that. What I said was that fat and saturated fat are clearly different concepts with different meanings, so the idea that they're 'not different' is not true. Are squares and rectangles "not different"? Squares make up a subset of rectangles.
