[Answer] Were tomatoes ever thought to be poisonous?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Were tomatoes ever thought to be poisonous? "

...

Americans may be in love with tomatoes today, but the relationship got off to a rocky start. During Colonial Times, we wouldn’t put a tomato near our mouths, let alone try to eat one. Folklore had it that if you ate a tomato, its poison would turn your blood into acid. Instead, the colonists grew tomatoes purely for decoration.

In the late 1700s, a large percentage of Europeans feared the tomato.

A nickname for the fruit was the “poison apple” because it was thought that aristocrats got sick and died after eating them, but the truth of the matter was that wealthy Europeans used pewter plates, which were high in lead content. Because tomatoes are so high in acidity, when placed on this particular tableware, the fruit would leach lead from the plate, resulting in many deaths from lead poisoning. No one made this connection between plate and poison at the time; the tomato was picked as the culprit.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What popular game was once outlawed in New York City?"

Pinball was once outlawed in New York City, a surprising turn for a game now considered a harmless pastime. In 1942, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia led a campaign against pinball machines, claiming they were a form of gambling that corrupted the morals of the youth and diverted nickel and dime coins away from the war effort. La Guardia ordered raids on pinball parlors, smashing machines with sledgehammers and dumping them into the Hudson River. The ban lasted for over three decades, until 1976, when a group of enthusiasts and pinball manufacturers convinced the city to lift the ban.
