Any thing is gross if you describe well enough.

Vegetables are the fruiting body of the plant. They arise from the interaction of the sexual parts of the plant. The function of a fruiting body is protect the seeds and provide nourishment, much like the womb and placenta do for a zygote.

Hope you enjoy your plant utereses with unborn babies inside.

That actually depends on the vegetable. Tomatoes and peppers are fruit, technically. Carrots and radishes on the other hand are actually the roots of the carrot plant. Celery, we eat part of the stems. Lettuce and spinach we eat the leaves of. Etc

I’m sure you can invent some allegory to body parts for each of those.

Food is only as gross as we make it out to be.
