I mean, just in that old habits die hard and tomatoes, which are difficult to store, transport, doesn’t keep fresh long, vitamin C gets destroyed easily, means specifically they probably weren’t looking towards this as a scurvy cure

In a conversation about scurvy and vitamin C, tomatoes are a less-than-ideal example, especially when you point out that the vitamin c is destroyed
