An interesting hypothesis, though IMO highly, highly unlikely. Especially when one looks at the FAQs and sees the obvious question:

In other words, they can't answer the question

And thus they effectively falsify their own hypothesis.
(If super highways are built purely to enable tomatoes to be transported from coast to coast then I will, of course, stand corrected)
