Popcorn IS a Vegetable!!!

OK, I've been having this friendly debate with long-suffering-wife over the last few days. I say popcorn is a vegetable! Think about it kids:

Popcorn is just corn that someone dried out and shoved in a package.
Nuke that dried out corn, and it explodes into popcorn.
Corn is sold on the veggie isle.
(At least that's what I'm told, I'm not quite sure where the veggie isle is. I may have seen it once though, as I recall it had a lot of cans down it. No, wait, I think that was the beer isle. Mmm, beer. I like beer. Goes well with popcorn. And peanuts. And Pizza. Hmm, I wonder if we have any? Oh, wait, better finish this first, I'm digesting. I mean digressing. Well, both actually. But anyway...)

Therefore: If popcorn comes from corn, and corn comes from the veggie isle, popcorn must be a vegetable!

That, my friends is what they call "infallible logic". I know, I know, you're weeping with joy over the beauty of it. Even Stephen Hawking is in awe over my brilliant reasoning abilities.

Long-suffering-wife, however, well let's just say she needs a little more convincing. (She thinks Hawking's 11 dimensional theory was a bit nutters, says there's gotta be more than that.)

SO, I need your help in convincing long-sufferning-wife. Perhaps the outcry of popular opinion will sway her more readily than the logical arguments of a geniuses such as myself or Stephen Hawking). If you agree with me, post your comment below! Vote yes to make popcorn the next thing in trendy veggies.

Ya know, Sweetheart, if you're going to take your silly notions to the 'net, ya might just want to make sure what you're touting is correct. Popcorn is NOT a vegetable! Check the market - it's on the SNACK aisle! I suppose you also think potato chips are vegetables and Pop Tarts are fruit?
Popcorn only started out as a vege! Just like the Porcupine Truck started out as a normal pickup and then you decided to turn it into a circus freak.
Wacky ideas like this are part of the reason you are granted only limited access to my kitchen! You think just like a guy!
(But I DO love you anyway.)
 
Pop-corn is a cereal, just like corn-flakes and plain old corn:

Not sure if this is going to settle anything though...
