It dosen't matter what is better for you. It's fruit.

It may taste like a vegetable, but it is a fruit because it grows above the ground.


P.S. They better your chances of not getting cancer

I got this off the Internet:

In 1893 , the Supreme Court ruled that the tomato must be considered a vegetable, even though, botanically, it is a fruit. Because vegetables and fruits were subject to different import duties, it was necessary to define it as one or the other. So, tomatoes were declared to be a vegetable given that it was commonly eaten as one. (Source: The Packer, 6/9/90)


So once again I am proven wrong by the Internet...but wait.


I also got this off the Internet:  

To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. The big question to ask is, DOES IT HAVE SEEDS?
If the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. This, of course, makes your tomato a fruit.


What do you believe?

I WAS right!

Why does it matter if it has seeds?  It is the only juicy vegetable.
