Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One reason aside from botantical to count tomato as a fruit is it has a lot more sugar than most non-starchy veggies. So if you are watching calories but don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting it helps to think of a tomato as the equivalent of, say, a clementine, rather than as the equivalent of some mushrooms or a side of spinach. So in a context like the one where Teppy brought in up, nutrition, noting that a tomato is a fruit rather than a vegetable is more than pedantry. If we were comparing deliciousness, the distinction would be less important.

I am updating my resume, which is possibly more painful than job hunting.

Key phrase being "don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting" here, since a clementine has about triple the sugar of a similar-sized tomato and twice the calories. So yeah, if you don't actually count anything, they're more or less the same.

Holy shit, I'm applying to this job, and I've been launched into a 79-question personality assessment test.

Don't care if fruit or vegetable. I love them all! And I love white beans even though I just cut the hell out of my finger opening a can of them. I don't blame the beans, I blame myself and the can opener.

Given actual number of calories as opposed to ratio not that different 4 oz clemintine has 20 more calories and a 4 oz tomato. If you are doing exchanges not that different. And a LOT easier to keep track via exchanges than via calorie counting.
