★★★★ · The Tomato Story · JayKay49 · 2022-03-23
From its discovery in Mexico to Heinz Ketchup 400 years later. A lot of the story is vague, until some guy near Columbus, Ohio developed a good, consistent tomato, later co-cultivated by Heinz, Inc. I have to say Heinz has the best ketchup. (It also had the name "ketchup" trademarked, and the trademark was in place until about 50 yrs ago, when, afterwards, others didn't have to call it "catsup" any longer). An interesting agri-story.

Story about, yes, the tomato that goes on far too long for it's own good. From it's discovery in central america, the film weaves towards today, where a young farmer is trying to make ends meet, and grows tomatoes, and then things, yes, start to look up. For sadists only.
