The USDA has approved a genetically modified purple tomato, clearing the path for the unique fruit to be sold in American stores next year. "From a plant pest risk perspective, this plant may be safely grown and used in breeding," the agency said in a September 7 news release.The approval moves the purple tomato one step closer to widespread distribution.
It also may influence the composition of the microbiome, so it's better able to deal with digestion of other nutrients."And in 2013, Martin and colleagues released a study that found the purple tomatoes had double the shelf life of their red cousins.Martin established a spinout company, Norfolk Plant Sciences, to bring the purple tomatoes to market.
No thanks
Genetic foods are a health hazard
Why?
Cancer is 👋👋
Why can't we produce the type of natural tomatoes that we have? Humanity Needs Healing.
What could go wrong trying to solve a problem that was never one...and medias are loving it.
Yay, MORE genetically modified food🥰🥰
Ubemato...
but why..
Pretty disgusting …
Then few years later, una go say e dey cause cancer.
How does it stack up against green fried tomatoes?
This is like saying God did not do it right so let's correct it with lethal chemicals. Pathetic!
if it do not tastes like bacon or salamy or got cheese is not so good.
Is that because genetic modification went wrong? 😆
The shit we do to tamper with nature... And now the world is burning.
Sounds lit - in an antioxidant way. But the bit …’..boasts health benefits and a greater shelf life than standard red tomatoes’ seems a tad incongruous.
Gross.
The anthocyanins of the tomato are not good enough? Have you ever thought about that environmental toxins cause cancer? If you want to eliminate cancer, you just have to eliminate the causes. But there are whole industries behind it. So it's better to research the silver bullet.
Is it healthy for human consumption?
Pomato
GMOs don't cause all forms of cancer 🎗️
the fruit formerly know a tomato
Why?
I hate tomatoes
It can't be like tomatoes, don't be deceived.
Why?
why make it purple?
😯😯
meanwhile cancer ....
Not sure how I feel about this
Genetically modified pass
🤦🏿♂️
...why?
Tomacco
...it must be Fox News Wannabe
Purple tomato,,,,
I freak out after I eat beets and look in the toilet. Now I have to freak out after eating tomatoes too!
These aren’t new
Purple spaghetti sauce....that would be fun
Purple salsa!
No thank you. The story should be why are we genetically modifying our food. Do you wonder why there is so much chronic disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders and fertility issues. Look at the food we eat
The link is broken.
I dont even like regular tomatoes. Changing the color doesnt change my mind.
Why GMO? Why not just grow heirloom purple tomatoes?
Already available: Heirloom tomatoes!
tomatoes come in all sorts of shapes and colors get some heirloom seeds and play around
Have had one, doesn't taste. Like a tomato to me.
I don’t know how appetizing it looks. I don’t know about this one
If everything is the same, why the new color needed?
You know, one can plant an heirloom tomato at home, in a bucket, on a patio and not have to eat something genetically altered. You know this right? Indigo Rose Purple is a delicious option :)
Could you elaborate why we need that purple tomatos? I think we are already enough with the red ones.
A lot of responses saying purple tomatoes are not new...nobody is saying they are new or old. Bottom line my dear sheep, these ones are genetically modified. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 no one cares if we have purple tomatoes already...we are specifically talking about this particular news.
I mean, is it enough to eat healthy without any worrying about for good? How long was it experienced all good to eat?
Genetically modified, probably leads to some type of cancer.
Psychos.....
We are refraining from going out from the Amagasaki city side for the new Corona virus CNNNASELEICOES
Simpsons prediction, but it was tomacco
Keep it, fine with the “original” version
to everyone complaining about things changing: that's life.
Holy shit
Now, the govt is allowing the corporations that bribe them to put this in the market!
NOPE
Oh no, Frankenfoods. Remember when they spliced fish genes into tomatoes, and that was going to alter human genes? Ignoring both that humans have been eating fish genes for thousands of years and that humans evolved from the same ancestors fish have evolved from.
Mmmm....genetically modified. Delicious.
AGulstonTV6 Looks like an unappetizing star apple
🤢🤮
Beetato lol
Let me guess: sponsored by WHO and WEF?
Tomadish
So is it gonna be called a red tomato? Red onions and red cabbage are purple yet they're called red so is this purple tomato going to be called a red tomato
Stop with the gmos!!!
Those racist red tomatoes need to go!
MahsaAmini
Nope
Nope
Surprised this isn’t on CNN breaking news 🤪🤪
Purple Benefits
The future is far more impressive than anybody could have predicted 🤯
They want to toxicate all humans..
Haven't you heard of heirloom tonatoes? They come in purples, oranges, an all black and even one that looks tie dyed..and tast great. So why the hype over a genetically altered something that looks and tastes like a tomato?
