Matter of Upmost Importance
Jun. 3rd, 2005 03:05 pmRecently, a grave and troubling bit of misinformation was brought to my attention.
Some people believe that tomatoes - red, juicy, delicious tomatoes - are actually a fruit! Like corn and squash, the vegetable tomato has long brought joy into the hearts of our children and brightened the name "vegetable" until it shone. Clearly, this misinformation is a fascist plot against tomato lovers everywhere. I call upon you, my loyal friends list, to defend the good name of vegetables everywhere and place among their number the noble and sublime tomato!
In short - only a Nazi would call a tomato a fruit.
