this is where you recognize that exercise burns calories and makes the body turn the excess calories into muscle and better fat, rather than flab.

And then you can ascend to the glory of being happy about eating 5kg of potatoes, because it means you can do a whole lot of exercise, which will make you swole

    Vegetable is a culinary category but not a botanical one. Fruit is a botanical and a culinary category and the two categories overlap but are not identical. Tomatoes are fruits (botanically) and vegetables (culinarily) but not fruits (culinarily).

    Is a tuber not a type of vegetable in the same way a leaf and a root can be a vegetable? Fruits are not vegetables obviously. If Tubers, roots, and leaves do not fall under the classification of vegetable then I suppose it truly does not exist.

    As a major guacamole and mashed potato fan the answer is no. Too many major differences. Potato is a vegetable and avocado is a fruit. Mashed potato is primarily potato with spices and an oil while guac is a fruit with a few other fruits, fruit juices, vegetables like onion, and some spices. Guac also functions primarily as a dip while mashed potato is stand alone with the ability to function as a dip. They aren't similar enough to be analogous.
