RE: Twinkies are a plant. It’s true.

From LiveScience (after I heard it on a Christian discussion):

Tomatoes are a fruit.
Tomatoes develop from a single flower and contain seeds.

“...botanically speaking, bananas are classified as berries. They meet the scientific definition because they develop from a single flower with one ovary and have a fleshy, soft-layered pericarp (skin, pulp, and seeds). Conversely, strawberries are not true berries; they are considered “aggregate fruits”.

Wish I hadn’t read that, totally wrecked my appetite. Bananas already require a BARF ALERT. IF they have miraculously become berries, it’s the devil’s work. No more berries for me in any form whatsoever. I’d rather eat a cactus.
