Woman Discovers Strawmato, A Strawberry Inside a Tomato

The whole strawberry-tomato thing is highly unlikely, why one may ask?

1. Tomatoes are self-pollinating; the flowers contain both female and male parts and only need a slight agitation to fertilize.
2. Tomatoes and strawberries are from different families (even plants within the same families would be hard-pressed to interbreed i.e. tomatoes and potatoes)

I've saved tomato seeds before and the insides of tomatoes have incredible variations, especially heirlooms.

Airline Food Waste and Excessive Packaging

I believe that the word "eco-friendly" has been abused due to frequent use without the understanding that it is simply a marketing scheme to make you feel less guilty about your lifestyle.

I believe that there is no such thing as being eco-friendly. There are practices that have less impact than others in terms of environmental pollution.

Biofuels and being carbon neutrals are other options, but not answers. Biofuels create as many problems as they were meant to solve; 1. Biofuels require oil to be made 2. Land used to grow food for human consumption are instead being used to grow fuel 3. There is not enough biofuel to fulfill all of our fuel needs.

Also, the truth about recycling is that it costs more to recycle papers and plastics (though not glass). The questions one needs to pose about recycling is 1. How much does recycling cost? and 2. How many times can something be recycled?

When I was flying From Delhi to Helsinki and Helsinki to JFK, I too noticed the incredible about of waste generated from the in-flight snacks, meals, and beverage services. It was disturbing, to say the least. One can only hope that other airlines follow Virgin Airlines' lead or perhaps some incentive could be given to airlines to recycle because unless some monetary gain is involved, I highly doubt airlines would take it upon themselves to change. If anything, maybe they could start a compost pile from all of the food wastes.
