   "tomatoes", please.  Anyway, we have a Supreme Court decision about
   tomatoes, cf. <URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden>.

   In any case, you are commingling the food group "fruit" with the
   biological term "fruit".  The fruit of the tomato plant, like
   eggplants, zucchinis, bell peppers, peanuts, is not commonly
   characterized as belonging to the food group "fruit".

What is popular doesn't need to be true, or correct.

   In a nutshell, a single tomato is "a fruit", but not "fruit".

   Or, put differently, you got eggplant on your face.

I think you mean `an eggplant', now who has the dirty face?
