At first I thought that was a can of diced tomatoes that flashed by, but a bowl of maybe freshly chopped ones instead. I'm still trapped in the robotic momentum of removing seeds from tomatoes, even though that traditional advice of "avoid some seeds & nuts" to help dodge future diverticulitis has been rescinded. "Return to the fold, thou cursed backslider! Thine faith in biomedical studies hath become weak!"

Just make sure you wait an hour after eating this before you go swimming.

I have been avoiding pepper seeds but not tomato. It didn't occur to me especially since avoiding tomato seeds would require a process to retain the juice while rejecting the seeds.

Minus the neat background setting always being available, I more or less go the Method#1 route when just using or eating them on a one by one basis. Even considered that to be implausible or inconvenient till I saw a Filipino friend of mine routinely doing it ages ago. Hopeless situation with raspberries and blackberries, though.
"There is no scientific evidence that suggests the avoidance of nuts and seeds prevents the progression of diverticulosis to an acute case of diverticulitis, and as such the widely held belief that small undigestable foods like seeds becoming lodged in the diverticula appears to be nothing more than an 'old wives' tale. Further, in a survey of fellows of The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons at least half of the surgeons responding to the survey saw no value in avoiding such foods, however adherence to a low residue diet was still favored by the majority."
Diets high in fiber won't protect against diverticulosis, study finds: Since the late 1960s, doctors have recommended a high-fiber diet to regulate bowel movements and reduce the risk of diverticulosis. This recommendation is based on the idea that a low fiber diet will cause constipation and in turn generate diverticula as a result of increased pressure in the colon. However, few studies have been conducted to back up that assumption. "Our findings dispute commonly-held beliefs because asymptomatic diverticulosis has never been rigorously studied," said Peery. "We were surprised to find that a low-fiber diet was not associated with a higher prevalence of asymptomatic diverticulosis," said Peery. In fact, the study found those with the lowest fiber intake were 30 percent less likely to develop diverticula than those with the highest fiber intake.~
