Fruits contain seeds. Vegetables don't.  But there is a lot more to it. See here:\n\nhttp://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/teach/msg011956409905.html

Fruits with the or seeds on the inside are considered Yin, the soft, sweet part is located on the outside (apples, pears, oranges).\nThe fruits that have seeds on the outside are the Yang, like raspberries, strawberries etc..

Only poliinated flower can produce fruit which bears seeds. Seeds are necessary that a new plant can be produced from them. Some fowers produce fruits without pollination, these do not have seeds e. g. banana. These plants are multiplied by other methods.

Tomato as we use for culinary purpose (making dishes )is a fruit; since we use it as a vegetable it can also be classified as a vegetable. Thus it is fruit as well as a vegetable. Some body has aptly said 'fruity vegetable'.\n Pumpkin is also a fruit first and then vegetable. Other examples are Brinjal or egg plant, and capsicum or chilli.\n Botanically speaking all the examples mentioned above are fruits.\n One has no confusion about mangoes and oranges as these are consumed as fruits only. \n Now let us take the other part of the question ' Why are they fruits?' \n The simple answer that a lay man can understand is that they have seeds in side, as all the fruits have seeds inside them.To go a step further ; these are all ripened ovaries of the flowers that develop after fertilization.The ovary becomes a fruit and the ova or the eggs inside become seeds. That is why fruit always has seed/s inside.\n To what purpose man puts them altogether different question.\n\nEdit- Sweet potato is a root (fleshy root) and not a fruit.\n Pumpkin does not develop from the thalamus. Since the ovary is inferior ; it appears to have developed from thalamus.It has seeds inside. cool dude please update your information.In Pumpkin the ovary is literally sunk in to the thalamus.So it is called inferior ovary. The other floral parts are literally above the ovary and they are superior.

The plant or the fruit? That's the trick.

Do you mean "Are raw vegetables healthier than cooked vegetables"?\n\nSome vitamins can be lost when the veggies are cooked.

After the initial phase you can start adding vegtables, there aren't many restrictions on that, but fruit is still off limits, except for berries like blueberries and raspberries.  No strawberries though, sorry.

Whole fruit is better nutritionally than fruit juice.  It has all of the votamins and minerals as the juice, as well as fiber to fill you up.  THe fiber is handy also in keeping your blood sugar from spiking which can happen as juice is full of sugars (natural or not, sugar is sugar).

Being a vegetarian can be healthy.\nBeing omnivorous can be healthy as well.\nThere's no scientific proof that a vegetarian diet is superior to one that's not.

yams are harder and have white flesh on the inside and brown fibrous skin on the outside while sweet potatoes have orange semi-soft flesh and light brown smoother skin.

The main difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms is that the ovules and the seeds of gymnosperms are unprotected unlike the seeds of angiosperms which are enclosed in fruit.

Not horrible but not a balanced diet.  Vegitarians do not eat only fruit and veggies.  They suppliment their diets with things like nuts and they eat tofu, etc.  You need some protein in your diet and you won't get enough (if any) with only fruit and vegetables.

Neither.  Vegans and vegetarians like to claim that the non-vegetarian lifestyle is unhealthy.  However, there is plenty of evidence (most of it scientific) that the vegan and vegetarian lifestyles are just as unhealthy as non-vegetarian lifestyles.  You can't eat very much of anything these days offered in grocery stores that is not mass-produced, hormone injected, pesticide or chemically assisted, and this applies just as much to fruits and vegetables as it does to meat.  And organic foods are no better than regular foods http://preventdisease.com/home/tips61.shtml  Everything in moderation is the key.\n\nThe Naive Vegetarian\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/2/vegetarian.htm\n\nThe Myths of Vegetarianism\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2000/apr/2/vegetarian_myths.htm

non-vegetarians.  all the vegetarians i know are unhealthy and do not eat veggies or fruits or even drink water.  it is more likely that an individual person who eats healthy regardless of being a non-vegetarian or vegetarian will be the one who eats the greens.

Veggies = 1 Cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked. Fruit is a little more complex, it's based on the amount of natural sugars, here are some: Watermelon=1 cup, cantelope or similar melon= 1/8 of the melon, apple= 1 small, orange= 1 small, banana= 1/2 banana, grapes= ~15, raisins or dried fruit= 1/4 cup, fruit juice= 6 oz. except cranberry juice cocktail= 4 oz.
