They are still vegetables. People don't consider them to be because of the fat content.

They're a carbphydrarte,and have little fiber value, and so much fat. They're more like a bread than a veggie at that point..

Because their negative qualities (calories, fat, sodium, etc.) far outweigh their nutrients.
