    Aren’t fruits subsets of vegetables? Without looking it up I thought that vegetables were the edible part of the plant and fruits are edible reproductive parts of the plant. I could be totally off on that though.

      Yea, you’re totally correct. This whole confusion comes from a Supreme Court case that involved tariffs though… Basically, tomatoes are a staple good and should be taxed like a regular vegetable and not receive the elevated fruit tax.
