This is in relation to our episode last week about whether you can get away with not eating fruit.

Rami says, I have fruit as a meal anytime with some bread and olive oil.

My wife marvels at that.

The original Mediterranean.

That's right.

Christy says, I was listening to you talking about fruit and vegetables and it reminded me of my niece.

Her dad is a plant biologist and I was in the shops with her.

She had been told that she could pick a piece of fruit to have.

I suggested tomatoes, cucumbers and capsicum because they are fruit too.

She looked at me with the disdain that only a four-year-old can manage and said, there's no such thing as vegetables.

Which is apparently because in plant biology, there's no distinction between fruits and vegetables.

Apparently plants, just fruit to produce seeds.

And it's all just a human social invention.

Exactly.

Both, both, both ways.

Well, that is it for What's That Rash?
