How many tomatoes do you eat per week or month?

At least one a day, mostly in salad. Sometimes eat them just like an apple. And I'm not a vegetarian. 
My favorite way to eat them is thinly sliced, alternating with thin slices of red onion, and mozzarella cheese slices, S&P and a zesty Italian dressing. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes, onions, and cheese, and let it marinate for 1/2 hour. Arranged in a circle on a large plate, with sprinkled fresh parsley, and a black olive center makes a great presentation.

Would you believe I have tomatoes in the greenhouse that still haven't ripened, it has been such a crap Summer and Autumn.
Do canned tomatoes count ? I like them.

Do I remember from macrobiotic hippie days that tomatoes are way off the scale one way or the other ? Eat a tomato and you have to eat three tons of porridge to compensate or something.

I drink at least four gallons of tomato juice a month. I also use tomato paste in cooking and fresh tomatoes in various ways. I eat a lot of tomatoes and tomato products. I'd have to keep track to come up with a concrete quantity.

My diet is also highly varied so one month may be much more tomato heavy than another. I buy what is ripe, what is in season and what is economical for the most part.This changes month to month and so does my diet as a result.
