"That tastes like a tomato right there....." no shit sherlock, lmfao. That was a brilliant vid, whodat (I think I may still be drunk from last night). But yeh, I think the guy could be right, most toms are probably ripened in the delivery stage in mass scale production.
Hydra, I think for the future Spanish is always going to be a good language to learn (especially if you are American). After all, it is one of the most commonly spoken languages across the world. More so than Germany. However in Europe, the Spanish economy is not exaclty the greatest so if you are using a second language as a door opener to get a job, you'll be standing behind a load of Spaniards with a better comprehension of Spanish than you. And believe me, at over 50% youth unemployment in Spain, there are enough of the Spaniards kicking around looking for jobs. The German market is the strongest and biggest in Europe so learning that language is always going to be beneficial. And as far as communication goes, would be a godsend if you were working in an International company and could speak it. This would also open up places like Switzerland and Austria. (lots of Americans in Switzerland).
I guess it depends on your jobs skills and where you want to take yourself. For example, I spoke to a guy in South Africa who's family owned a Game Ranch. He was going to Barcelona for a year to learn Spanish. I asked, "why Spanish". And his reason was that the biggest group of people who come to the Game Ranching industry in South Africa are Spanish. So there was a reason there. So look at the future, beyond living in Europe, and what would be useful for you. That's how I would look at it. Feel free to ask any q's you fancy lad.
