Google the history of a tomato. In med evil times, it was a no no fruit to eat.
It was considered poisonous for centuries because of the type of metal dinnerware it was served on, and deadly. With that, I'll bet cyanide gas will be the "new high" in a couple centuries (sic).

Botanically it is a fruit, for culinary purposes it is a vegetable.
Pretty much this. Tomatoes, peppers, & eggplant are categorized as "fruit vegetables", culinary speaking, because scientifically they are fruit but in the kitchen they are used like vegetables.

A tomato IS a berry, and therefore a fruit.

Vegetables are determined by what part of the plant you actually eat. Leaves (lettuce) roots (carrots), flowers (broccoli), etc.
The fruit is the mature, fully grown, ovary of the plant. So the tomato is botanically a fruit.

Yeah, that's a bummer. Definitely a $200-level Jeopardy question during Kids Week.

May be a fruit but is used more in the way vegetables are.
Grown in a vegetable garden.
Put in vegetable soup.
