   There are still a few kinks to work out though it seems.

   Can a genie actually grant wishes for himself? I would doubt it because otherwise he could just wish himself freed from the lamp entirely instead of needing Aladdin to use his third wish for this.

   Based on the Disney “Aladdin” movies where the title-character wished the Genie to be freed from the lamp, I’d guess yes.

   That is a lot of noise.

   It may be noise to someone who is closed-minded, but to others who are more fair and open-minded to both sides of the debate, this can provide a lot of helpful insight.

    To say that I am “completely incorrect” is neither correct nor fair. You are focusing solely on botany and are completely ignoring the nutritional and culinary context wherein tomatoes and other such foods are regarded as vegetables rather than fruits. The nutritional classification of foods considers not just botany, but a food’s nutrient content, usage in meals, and taste. The “Fruit Group” includes botanical fruits that are sweet and/or tart in taste – those which are usually thought of as fruits by consumers. The “Vegetable Group” on the other hand includes those botanical fruits that are not sweet or tart and are usually consumed along with other vegetables or as a vegetable.

    If you took a survey where you asked food lovers to name their favorite fruit, no one would ever say tomato or cucumber – unless they have a creepy and obsessive bias with the botanical definition or if they just want to create chaos for the attention it will bring them. Yet, if asked to name their favorite vegetable, many of those same people (minus the aforementioned weirdos) may very well possibly name the tomato.

    Full disclosure now: The reason I’m not totally comfortable with the botanical definition of “fruit” without proper clarification is because, technically speaking, it means that acorns, dandelions, and other poisonous plants are also fruit; but if you tell that to an impressible youth or moron, they might try eating those like they eat a berry or grape. As a caregiver, I don’t want a kid on the playground eating a weed and getting sick as a result of someone telling him it’s a fruit. So, can we please treat the botanical definition with caution and favor the culinary?
