Apparently, this family is really into tomatoes.

Katie Jade Gates, 19, has been charged with two felonies over the Sept. 12 incident, Fox 51 reported. She’s been accused of aggravated assault and aggravated battery on a victim over the age of 65.
According to the incident report by the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Fox News, Gates’ grandmother claimed the girl became angry because “she wanted to eat more than her fair share of tomatoes at the dinner table.” When she was denied more tomatoes, her grandmother said Gates became “disrespectful towards the other adults in the house.”
Gates reportedly followed this by throwing a water bottle at her grandfather, but missed.
She then threw a pack of cigarettes, which hit her grandmother in the face, the police report states.
