Definitely a wild scene. The waste of all those tomatoes sorta bothers me though. That's alotta tomatoes!

I see some onions and other vegetables mixed in, think they are going to make some Bolognese!

One can reason that it is all such a waste. But apparently the region has plenty of tomatoes and preumably the farmers were paid for their products and there certainly is no shortage of tomatoes at the markets.

As a child my grandmother always chided me to eat up because their were kids starving in the Belgium Congo. She also said "Don't play with your food", I don't think she would approve of this event.

Yeah those poor starving kids, wherever they are. That guilt is STILL working on me.

See, now all they need is a few truckloads of tortilla chips and they'll be SET.

And I'm sure some of those folks will be finding tomato residue for days in places they didn't realize they had.
