You Say Tomato, I Say To-mah-to

You Say Tomato, I Say To-mah-to

So how do you say "tomato," anyway? Tomatoes are tricky. When people first found them in America hundreds of years ago, everyone thought they were poisonous. But people figured out that you could eat them safely. Thanks to their bravery, we now each eat around 70 pounds of tomatoes or foods made from tomatoes every year. Salsa, spaghetti sauce, soup...even a bottle of ketchup uses up to 14 tomatoes! Or maybe that's 14 "to-MAH-toes."

Read the story. Talk through the numbers. Kids do best when you do the math together!
