These tomatoes just make you want to eat them. They’re gorgeous, and go perfectly with some Mozz cheese/basil/olive oil/basalmic … dude.
I could eat them on a train, I could eat them in the rain, I could eat them on a boat, I could eat them with a goat ….

What Happened
In this study, researchers evaluated more than 5,600 Indian (from India, not Oklahoma) adults age 60 and up for cataracts. They also interviewed them about their diets and lifestyle habits, and measured their blood levels of vitamin C.
What They Found
Overall, nearly 73 percent of the study participants were found to have cataracts. But that risk dipped as vitamin C blood levels and vitamin C intake rose.
The Bottom Line
In the roughly one-quarter of older adults with the highest vitamin C levels, the risk of cataract was 39 percent lower than in people with the lowest levels of the nutrient. That was with factors like income, smoking habits, high blood pressure and diabetes taken into account.
