I agree with most everyone commenting. The writer seems to not have done a thorough job of researching facts about vegetables. Only an ignorance person would classify ketchup, vegetable juice, vegetable chips, soup, and last but not least - Vegetable Tempura as "vegetables". The writer seems to imply that anything that is made from vegetables must also then be a vegetable too. Would the writer of this article classify plastic made from soy a healthy alternative to the 6 food items mentioned in the article? According to the article, the six items mentioned were unhealthy based only on the fact that they contain sugar, sodium (salt), and calories. Since plastic does not contain sugar or salt, that would mean according to the writer it must be a nutritional food source!
Who was the publishing editor that o.k.'d this article to be published? That person should be fired! Just because the word "vegetable" was put in quotes in the title of the article, does not magically make the six items - vegetables. The article title should not have used the word "vegetables" in place of the defining words "processed foods." The correct title for this article should have been "Six Processed Foods That Should Not Be in Your Diet." (Like the word "ain't," the word "shouldn't" is not a proper word, therefore it was also another faux pa made by the writer.) I wonder if this article was not written by a junior high school age child or younger, then I could forgive the ignorant references made by the writer.
