And Ras responded:
Actually, the probable cause of the bad rep that tomatos carried up
until the
beginning of this century when they were still viewed as a major
cause of
cancer, is the fact that all parts of the plant except the fruit are
poisonous.
IIRC, the tomato is related botanically to the deadly nightshade, which may
have something to do with this as well as its reputation.

May God have mercy on my enemies
For they shall certainly need it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good!
