Problems with Food

[howeverbrief]

What kind of food is a bamboo shoot?
Is it a vegetable?
It's a plant, right? It is fibery.

What does this thing count toward pyramid-wise,
the 3 to 5 servings of whatever or what?

All I know is it tastes good.
I hope it isn't secretly bad for me.
I'm eating it anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's a vegetable. I mean, it comes from bamboo, which is a plant.

And they are allegedly good for constipation (heh heh, they are fiber-y!), internal poisoning, and maintaining healthy blood pressure.

Munch on!
