What's a Tomato?

Does anyone know why a tomato is a fruit? According to scientists, botanists, and other highly intelligent people, a tomato is a fruit. The reason has something to do with the seeds. Does knowing that a tomato is a fruit make you wise?

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

The difference in knowledge and wisdom is action. Knowledge is information. Wisdom is what you do with the information. You probably know tons of facts. Think about it. Answer the following questions in 20 seconds.
Name three healthy foods you should eat weekly.
Name three ways to keep your body healthy.
Name three foods that are detrimental to your health.
Name three habits that are unhealthy.
Health information is poured into our minds daily. You could say, “I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to healthy living.” Could you say, “I live a healthy lifestyle?” The difference is wisdom! Knowledge is knowing. Wisdom is doing.

In what areas of your life, do you need to practice the knowledge you possess?
Work habits, parenting, eating, marriage, time management, exercise
Just like the wise chef knows where to put a tomato, take the knowledge you have and put it into practice!
