   Is the potato truly a vegetable? The humble spud is in the eye of a storm in America over plans to uproot its classification.

   Currently designated a “starchy vegetable”, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee is considering moving the potato out of the vegetable box and into the same category as grains such as rice, wheat and oats.

     @Flick Potato is a potato, what the priests want to label it makes no difference.
