Is your ass shaped like a vegetable or fruit?

plumper, rounder backside that is, quote, "squishy to the touch." Think Beyonce and J-Lo.

-The Potato: The potato-shaped rear accounts for about 30% of women. It's wide, long, and lumpy. If you're sporting a potato, the 'experts' advise you to wear a tulip-style skirt . . . like a pencil skirt but wider in the hips, and a couple inches shorter.

-The Pear: 15% of women have a pear-shaped backside. This is when you have a narrow waist and a rear that's almost twice as wide at the base. Not as bad as it sounds.

-The Nectarine: Only 10% of women have the nectarine. It looks like a "cartoon-esque perfection of two bowling balls pushed together."

According to Dr. David Holmes of Manchester Metropolitan University, "In the 21st century, the effects of plentiful attractive food have taken their toll and spherical derrieres have given way to the tomato and the more unfortunate potato rear."

It seems today that the round, juicy backside is rather popular. After some careful research, by which I mean asking my followers on Facebook and Twitter, I confirmed this notion. Most men and women prefer to see a curvy woman with a nice butt as opposed to women who have a back with just a crack.

Seth (AKA Boy) seemed to appreciate all fruits and vegetables (though I have to wonder if this claim is really true). I believe he even said he doesn't mind the potato!

I always appreciate a nicely shaped woman. Personally I fall somewhere between the tomato and possibly the pear, like a strange but juicy fruit salad. While my ass is not twice the size of my waist, I do have quite the curve between the two. Now I'm confused... am I a tomato, pear, or apple? Either way it makes for a strange tossed salad. Let's just say I'm curvy and leave it at that!

How do you stack up?

I can't image why anyone would want to describe their body shape in terms of fruits or vegetables, but people do just that. It all started with apples and pears. An apple shaped woman has a round middle and less of an ass; whereas the pear shaped woman has a slimmer waistline and round ass. This isn't to be confused with the apple shaped ass. In this instance a woman has a nice round, juicy ass no matter what the size of her stomach.

Apparently the trend of categorizing our bodies in terms of food is growing. Fisher and Boy from Tampa Bay's 97X reported Tuesday morning about an article explaining the subtle differences in women's asses and how we might categorize them. According to a new survey out of the U.K., almost half of all women today have a TOMATO-shaped backside. This is based on a study of 18,000 women conducted by a British supermarket chain. That's right. The same people who spend all day handling produce are now using their super powers to judge the quality of women's asses. Now checking out asses will be no different than shopping for groceries. These supermarket scientists have broken down their analysis of the female booty into four categories: the Tomato, the Potato, the Pear, and the Nectarine.

-The Tomato: 45% of women now rock the tomato, which means a
