Vegetable or Nah? (Media Critique)

BBC Earth writer Henry Nicholls wrote an article that was published September 17th about wether vegetables are real or not. This is an article that has no relevance or importance and no relation to the ten elements or the 7 yardsticks. It goes on and on about forums and researchers and concludes with the idea that botanically vegetables don't exist but culinary it does. This article, though it is well researched and has 2 opinions displayed evenly, is utterly disregarding journalism. When have you ever been walking around and heard 2 people arguing on wether or not vegetables are real? It just doesn't happen. This does not monitor anyone in power and government is used as a reference in the argument when they are talking about a supreme court case with tomatoes. Though this may be my fault for looking in the wrong place to be expecting more this is still a poor attempt on journalism because the need for this argument is just no where to be seen.
