I know that technically corn is to be considered a starch and not a vegetable, but heck I want some tonight, and it is going to take the place of a veggie with my dinner! I am tired of eating broccoli, lettuce, and other green stuff. Darn it I want some corn! do you make corn your "vegetable" sometimes?

I often eat corn on its own, it serves the functions of vegettables but I eat it because it tastes good

Corn is a vegetable - who told you it isn't? Someone is pulling you leg. Yes, it has starch and it has sugar but it is a veggie!

Oh yes, it is a vegetable, but in terms of diet plans it is considered to be a starch and counted as a starch.

I see corn as a grain/cereal, but I don't bother adding a portion of vegetables in every meal.

I don't always eat vegetables, but I try to at least once a day because they are so good for you.

Corn is a grain, but considered a vegetable maybe because it's a plant instead of an animal. What about potatoes, can you eat them even though they're also quite starchy.
There are other veggies though, cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, kale, etc.
I detest diets.

@snowy22315 Corn + beans = a complete protein! Yahoo!
Also, beans are a great source of fiber, which will help make your guts very happy. Bonus!

I always thought that corn is a vegetable, just a starchy one. Potatoes are in the starch family as well but I still consider them as a vegetable.
I love corn! I boil it and sprinkle with salt and smother with butter. It's so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! I prefer corn that's mixed (white and yellow in one cob).

They say the only "healthy" veggies have to be green. They are the yucky ones. I like corn.
