The argument that "I like immigrants, but don't let them change our culture" has been around for a long time. They'd say that about Italians, and now I can find a pizza place all over town. Seems like they can change it for the better to me.

Tomato's aren't native to Italy

Correct. There was a back and forth movement of culture. Tomatoes were sent out, then they put them in pizza, then their immigrants came over with the pizzas. The world is a melting pot of cultures.

Edit: maybe "sent out" is too nice of a term though. The process is messy and complex. Ugly at times

And you really got the hang of them. I want to come back to Italy for the food and people. Mostly the food though.

Wait... Are you saying tomatoes are an immigrant too?!
