My barber’s family raises cattle, he mentioned to me a while back that they had to stop letting septic cleaning companies spray it out on their fields. He was telling me that it contained tomato seeds, and that if the cows ate any tomato plants that germinated it would bloat their stomach and kill them.

I thought about it for a second and came to the conclusion that his cow eating a tomato plant was about the very last thing I would be concerned about with them doing that.
