is the olive a fruit or a veggie?
i'm convinced brennan would eat olives at every meal, if allowed.
so my question.
can the olive be counted as both
a fruit & a veggie?
i'm no farmer,
but my logic tells me it is "technically" a fruit b/c it grows from a tree.
i think the distinguishing factor of a veggie is growing from the ground.
then there's tomatoes.
an exception.
so can olives be an exception in the veggie world?
my argument for the olive being a veggie:
if they're not a veggie, then why are they always on the veggie platter at every one of our family holidays?
there you have it.
a fruit & a veggie.
there's green in the color black.
then there's the green ones themselves (which i REALLY don't prefer).
so can it be counted as a green veggie?
i think i'm onto something here...

Sounds good to me! Then whatever you need more of that day, it can be that.
Too bad I don't really like olives.
Kind of a stretch, Em...kind of a stretch. I think it's a fruit, a la avocado.
But, whatever works for ya! At least you can claim that Brennan's eating his "greens."
;)
What about strawberries, watermelon, and cantaloupe? They don't grow on trees.
see, i said i was no farmer;-)
then there's grapes, which grow on a vine. i guess tomatoes are on a vine. strawberries bushes, but maybe they're really called a vine? avocadoes grow on trees right? what makes it a fruit and what makes it a vegetable? how did i miss this in school?
Fruit. Definitely a fruit. And if you have never had green olives on a pizza, you truly haven't ever lived life. Sooo good! And I really can't solve the fruit vs veggie conundrum for you, because I go off of instinct. Good luck!
