Tomatoes must keep kids up at night.
In reality: The connection? It's summer time. Tomatoes are more available, and they don't have as strict of a bedtime, because they aren't in school.
Just because two things happen at the same time does not mean that one causes the other.
Correlation does not imply causation.
Asian people might include rice more in their diets, but they also eat fewer red meats, more vegetables, more fish. Their rice serving is between 1/2 cup to 1 cup when they do eat it.
