Eat Tomatos More Frequently has developed into a sort of a motto for me. It began as a bit of improv comedy in prank form. Just behind the house I grew up in from age 7 til 19 ran a rail line. Back in those days all of the street crossings were at grade so waiting for a train to pass through was a common scene in my memory of youth. On one such occasion while waiting at the crossing with my Mother and some other people, a car passed by stenciled in huge letters "ETMF." Having just learned a day or two earlier from my father that those letters stood for East Texas Motor Freight I decided to share my new found knowledge. So I asked "Hey, I'll bet you don't know what that means." So my mother who has this huge silly streak spouted out "Eat Tomatos..." and I, who has an equally huge silly streak completed her thought "More Frequently" I said, "How did you know that?" "Really" she said, that's incredible, I was just making that up." Well that's as far as it got because I couldn't keep a straight face. My Mom is a good sport so we had a great laugh. After that Eat Tomatos More Frequently became a part of our lexicon. Since I love tomatos so much I think it's a perfect motto for me or anyone who loves tomatos like I do.
