Yes. It's a vegetable. It's just a dried, puffed up version of it's seed!
It is for me. Yum!
no
The reason popcorn isn't considered a vegetable is because it undergoes a bunch of changes. The actual composition of the kernel, the stuff that becomes the white, fluffy stuff that is popcorn, changes. The small amount of water in it starts to heat up and, in about one-one thousandth of a second, expands 1700 times its size, producing the "pop" and the blossom, the white stuff. So, basically it undergoes a chemical change, and is no longer "corn". As far as french fries, they're probably just too greasy to be classified as food anymore.
