| ID: | 12293 | | Title: | Tomatoes History, Origin, Facts… or Fiction - http://garden.zersal.com/2008/06/30/tomatoes-history-origin-facts-or-fiction/ | | Description: | A tomato importer, John Nix, decided to challenge the law after scrutinizing the Tariff Act. His case relied on the fact that tomatoes were a fruit and not vegetable, therefore, it should not be subjected to the Tariff Act. Nix’s objections brought the case to the Supreme Court in 1893. Although Nix had a solid case, the Supreme Court rejected the botanical facts and continued to refer to tomatoes as a vegetable. | | Category: | Recreation & Sports: Toys | | Link Owner: | koko@hotmail.com | | Date Added: | September 05, 2008 01:09:02 AM | | Number Hits: | 0 | | |
