    Take a piece of paper with 3 squares drawn on it

    And hand a person a picture of an apple, tomato, pepper, cucumber, pork cutlet, and mushroom and ask them to put the pictures into the squares and then label each square

    Average person will definitely label a box as vegetables and put the mushrooms in it

      Well if you tell me to use only three categories and one of them will obviously be “meat”, then I won’t put them with apples.

        Apple, tomato, peppers, and cucumbers are all fruits

        Mushrooms are mushrooms

        Pork is meat

        But if you give the average person those it’s much more likely they will make the categories fruits, vegetables, and meat and put mushrooms in the vegetable category

        One box labeled “Brown when cooked properly”. Then mushrooms can go in the box with the apples and cutlets.
