Testing tomatoes
Have these saucy fruits become less healthy over time? With Tim Harford.
Have these saucy fruits become less healthy over time? We examine a claim that you’d need to eat 10 tomatoes grown today to get the same nutritional value of one grown in the 1950s. Also: as Britain’s general election continues, we check promises made on the campaign trail about levels of public spending.
