Would you eat street tomatoes?

I noticed someone grew tomatoes on the sidewalk, which is cool, but it's on a busy street next to the gutter. Cars are always parked next to the tomatoes and dogs probably pee on them. Would you eat tomatoes grown from this plant?

  • It's San Francisco. There's probably a good amount of human waste in that bush as well.

  • No, I would not eat anything that close to the street and grown in unknown soil. Too much possibility for lead and who knows about auto exhaust.

  • It looks like a healthy bush but just imagine what the street sweeper kicks up on it.
