I just worked out that that is approximately 50 tomatoes! I know tomatoes are good for you.but do you think I'm overdone it?

P.S. It started after I quit a 40 per day smoking habit last year.

Don't they have very high sodium levels? Checked your blood pressure lately?

Sounds a bit excessive, but you'll probably get sick of them after a week or so. It's not the tomatoes that you need to avoid, it's all the oil they're packed in.

No, but you might get diarrhoea from your diet.

Yeah, I did read that, OS. But from experience, if I have 'a bit of a run' on something, once I start to analyse/question it, that tends to signal that I've stopped enjoying it and signals the end of it.

exactly so. For example I started my strict regime of ten cans of fozzies a night, about 35 years ago, I have yet to start to analyse/question it, so therefore there is no signal that I've stopped enjoying it to signal the end of it
