yes they bloody well are, its talking about the fact its called 'root' which is a bit of a dodgy term for the types of vegetables that come under it... it's a tubular veggie and thats that. POTATO'S ARE VEGETABLES.

potatoes are alien eggs... a new race of very disgusting aliens... when they hatch out they look a bit like

Potatoes are is in the genus Solanums(this is more specific than the nightshadefamily) together with tomatoes and eggplants. Tomatoes are fruits and eggplants are berries. How can a potatoe be a vegetable then? Is the definition of a vegetable everything vegetable like which isn't a fruit?

A potatoe isn't really a root, it is a starchy tuber. Starchy means that it's complex carbohydrate which is insoluble in water. And a tuber is a storage organ so this means that the potatoes we eat is the stored energy the plant has stored for later. Doesn't this mean that potatoes aren't vegetables?

I know Time said this, but I didn't understand what he meant before I wrote this(and learned it as I wrote) The only reason I did this research of what a potato is was that I knew it wasn't a vegetable.

*edit I forgot to mention that I was wrong about the root vegetable. But this isn't important in this case since potatoes aren't root vegetables.

Well then what what makes potatoes not part of the meat and alternatives group? Beans dont bleed do they? Peanuts dont bleed either (unless ur talking about the comic).
