    I'm pretty sure that the plant itself is bad, but not the fruit.

    @Grim Reaper of the Forest: "tomatoes (plant and fruit) contain tomatine, an alkaloid related to solanine. As the fruit ripens, the tomatine is metabolized. Therefore, ripe tomatoes are less likely to be problematic for animals...(All parts of the plant except the tomato itself are poisonous to humans, although some people are sensitive to the ripe fruit also.) Tomatoes also contain atropine, which can cause dilated pupils, tremors, and heart arrhythmias. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants, with less in unripe (green) tomatoes, and even less in ripe (red) tomatoes."

    srsly, someone could let the white house know that there are people out there who will feed their dog what the president feeds his dog -- eat your tomatoes, just like bo -- and that could hurt the dog so even it is just a joke they should change it


    i knew a daschund who ate a bag of hershey's kisses and lived to tell the tale but had silver sparkly poop for 3 days

    Don't be ridiculous. Everybody knows that Porties like grapes. Labradoodles in Park Slope are the big tomato eaters.

    The buzz in Washington is that Bo peed on their prayer carpet and chewed up Malia's "My Favorite Pony" burka. Death to all infidels!

    The saddest part is there are people coming across this on google (probs looking up "Obama + Communist") and they are sitting there nodding in unsarcastic agreement with everything you have written.


    It's the same people who watch Stephen Colber 'for serious'.

    It a calculated political move to draw media attention away from other things, like the major policy clusterfucks they are engaging in.
