    Leafy Greens and Starched Vegetables were the words used to separate the vegetable food by many adults throughout these recent years, this video just helped solidify that "Vegetable" was too wide a food group, like saying "Eat Meat" when there are many different variations all with their own boons and cons (that vary further depending on how you cook it)
