Because they think they are healthy for you, although they are not really. Vegetables contain oil fat, and fruits contain sugar.

Is a tomato a fruit or a veqetable?

A tomato is considered a fruit. Fruits of a plant are fleshy bodies that contain seeds, so peppers, cucumbers and eggplant are also considered fruits. Even though fruits are considered sweet and vegetables savory, only root vegetables and other parts of a plant can actually be considered vegetables. All seed-containing vegetables are actually fruits.

Which vegetables are fruits?

In some ways people have an understatement on what a fruit is. Most believe that the cucumber is a vegetable when in reality it is a fruit. In some opinions all fruits have seeds: strawberries, apples, squash, cucumbers, and even bananas.Vegetables either are a seed or they just don't have a seed, like corn and string beans.Fruits contain seeds, either within or without the body. Hence, cucumbers and other squashes contain their seeds inside the body while the seeds of the strawberry are contained on the outside of the skin. Peas and beans are also fruits, although the actual pea and bean inside the fruit (or pod) are technically regarded as seeds. Coconut is also a seed pod.The fruiting body of a fungus, such as the mushroom or toadstool, is the part you are most famiar with, while the main part of the fungus (classed as a vegetable) is underground.So if you are unsure whether or not a specific vegetable is a fruit or not, look for the seeds. The answer above is correct in that all fruits are also vuegatables, even though in a colloqial sense vegetables are eaten with the main course and fruits with pudding!Nevertheless, cauliflower and broccoli are the flower heads of the vegetable and hence it can technically be correctly argued that they are fruits.
