Potatoes may soon not be considered a vegetable

(CNN)– We all know a potato is vegetable?

Well that fact might change.

The Wall Street Journal reports a federal committee is considering changing the spud’s classification and putting it in the same group as rice, carbs and other grains.

The debate comes as the Department of Agriculture and Health and Human Services consider updates to national diet guidelines for 2025.

Those guidelines divide food into five groups of vegetables, grains, fruit, diary and protein.

The guidelines help shape nutritional advice and school cafeteria menus.
