This is a wonderful strawman you've planted here. While only one of the definition includes literally every plant, the other two still include any plant and any part of a plant that is edible, which is in line with our argument and refutes your shady linguistical machinations. As I have already demonstrated, you are deliberately ignoring what your leader was actually talking about, all to the benefit of your inconsistent interpretation of his radical ideals. Admit it, you are unable to forgo all that tasty vegetal food.
Surely, you people misunderstand our leader's intentions! It's not that anything that contains ingredients of vegetables in inherently bad, it's simple the end product of it all, namely the taste and healthiness of such foods!
Take this, for an example! Our leader has clearly stated in his prophetic message,
For now, thanks to our diet supplemented by such nourishment as coca-cola, bologna, and American "cheese"
Now, you of all people should know what coca cola is made of, yes? Cane sugar, Corn syrup, vanilla and other extracts... tell me, what are the sources of these ingredients? Indeed, though the source is evil, the end product is a visually enticing and palatable pungent mix of what vegetable heathens might call 'unhealthy'. Did he, at any time, reject the endless culinary uses of what vegetables might offer? No! To be able to use the bad for the good is one of the many talents that humans have an apt for!
And let's go back to your avocado-eggplant argument... Sure, they're fruits. Technically. But culinary speaking, they're vegetables, through and through. Tell me, at any point in time had you enjoyed a bowl of fruit salad (salad being a word I despise, by the way), there was an assortment of eggplants and tomatoes along with your apple slices and strawberries? I THINK NOT! Perhaps we shouldn't delve into the intrinsic technicalities of what something is, and look at a much more 'spiritual' level in the fine art of dining. If we're discussing the exclusion of things from our diet that is unrealistically in almost every confectionery, shouldn't we instead take a measurement of taste rather than chemical? I, for one, am all for removing tomatoes, eggplants, avocados, and even potatoes, but ketchup, potato chips, and french fries must stay. After all, how can you continue to call something that has been deep fried and oiled as well as salted a vegetable? Might as well call a mummified corpse a living human as well! Do you dishonor the name of what is 'junk food'??
And of course, this argument applies to cakes, baked goods, chocolates, and other things as well, friends, so don't lose heart against these nay sayers!
After all, one who pulls up definitions of vegetables just to prove an argument to convert us surely has to be a stick in a mud. Believe in our leader's words, for he is all present and omniscient, all powerful and omnipotent!
