It is in the Fruit Family (Rhubarb), yet everyone I know says it's a wheat. I think it's a fruit with seeds that resemble wheat. Who knows the answer?

Botanically, Buckwheat is an achene... which is a dried fruit... see link below.
O-tay!

Buckwheat is an HERB, the seeds of which are used as a cereal grain. Rhubarb is NOT a fruit. All three, buckwheat, wheat, and rhubarb, are members of the same biological kingdom and division. Buckwheat and rhubarb also share the same class, order, and family. So, buckwheat is more closely related to rhubarb than it is to wheat.

Nope not the fruit family - buckwheat is not descended from rhubarb
It is a cereal: it is often counted as a cereal, though unlike most cereals the buckwheats are not true grasses. Buckwheat is thus not related to true wheat. Buckwheat is most likely descended from wild buckwheat, though it does not share its vine-like growth habit.

Your incorrect on both ends. "Buckwheat" was on the "Little Rascals" TV Show years ago. Actually I think Buckwheat is a sorce of grain. If not I would say it is in the nut family. An dI believe nuts are sometimes in the fruit family.

Alton Brown said Buckwheat is a berry on the episode where he gets in a car accident and it parody's the movie "Misery" only he makes all sorts of stuff with wheat and cereals instead of having his ankles broken with a sledgehammer...

It's not terrible, but you should put more variety in your diet to make sure you are getting proper nutrients. For protein, mix it up with some beans, nuts, lentils, etc. You should eat several kinds of fruit and vegetables, and mix up the starches with stuff like pasta, rice, potatoes etc. You have not listed any kind of vegetable, but you need vegetables because that's where you get your calcium. Besides, you will get tired of those things awfully fast, trust me. You can still keep it simple, just make vegan versions of common dishes like spaghetti, burritos, etc. Also, PB and J! It's easy, healthy, and vegan. Good luck.

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen much too soon. Some are rocks, many are bad. Some of the fresh vegetables are typical right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.
