Answer 5

Answer 6

Fruit is often taken to mean things with seeds, but we continue to call them fruit when we grow seedless grapes or oranges.  

So we are weakening our term fruit because our perception does not really depend on having seeds in it.

When we have a cucumber or squash with seeds in it, many object to calling it fruit... We think of it as a vegetable, and we will find it grouped with vegetables for  most culinary purposes. Then when we grow it without seeds do we feel certain it is not a fruit?

A grain is a seed, and we do not call it fruit. A fruit, the strawberry, has its seeds outside of the fruit, so it does not contain seeds.

Yes, our traditional classification of what is a fruit has taken a beating. Milk is a  fruit of our labour, which does not really qualify it as a fruit in our usual weak classification system.

Probably a term like an ovary in the plant world comes fairly close to what we mean, without mentioning seeds, but somehow including a strawberry that is like an inside-out ovary.

Answer 23

fruit has three definitons:

a biological definiton based on scientific analyis if the function and form. a tomato is a fruit.

a common or lay person's definiton: a tomato is a veggie. commonly accepted

a legal definiton - what a state of the Feds define it to be.

canned tomatoes from Erupoe are vegettables is proccess one way and frutis if another. oh by the the tax varies depending on weather its a fruti or a veggie.

milk has neither the form or function of fruit from the biological point of view.

common usage dows not make it a fruti, all though you could call it the fruti of the dairymen's lablor just like you can say a child is the fruit of your loins.

not the government with its catsup is a veggie mentality could call milk a fruit, the haven't make that bull-pucky yet.
