The USDA has approved a genetically modified purple tomato, clearing the path for the unique fruit to be sold in American stores next year.

The distinctive purple color means that "it takes no imagination to see that it's different," Pumplin said. "It really allows people to make a choice."In the past, forays into genetically modified foods have often focused on engineering crops that are more sustainable to produce, he added. But for consumers, the benefits of eating a genetically modified food are murky.

At the same time, "GMOs are not a silver bullet," he said. "It's one tool in our toolbox as plant scientists, as scientists, agronomists, to improve the food production system."

Same technology as the Covid Vaccine?

How much longer until Soylent green is approved?

No, no, no, no, no!

GMO-ed for your pleasure, because (God forbid!) your fruit should look like a Purple Cherokee. 🖕🏽🤬🖕🏽

How about no. That’s creepy

The next generation of GMOs is to create purple tomatoes which already exist via conventional breeding? Sounds like more useless spending on GMOs that could have actually been used to help malnourished people.

Just what this world needs, more GMO food. Why is our government allowing Franken-Food to be sold? Why do companies think it's a good idea (other than $$$) to sell non-food 'food'? What happened to just eating a regular tomato?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

That's messed up, they trying to kill people!

I don't like it how are you supposed to see the bad parts

What is the point?

How about you quit spreading bullshlit . No body trust the MSM and y’all’s reckoning is coming.

They also gave us high fructose corn syrup under the guise of 'corn sugar.' And a bunch of new health problems became common... If we need to modify our fruit - tell us what's REALLY wrong with the land we're growing the regular fruit on.🧏‍♀️

Keep screwing with Gods creation. We will someday create something that we won't be able to put back into the petri dish.

Should we call it 'Purato'?

Yea yall can just put it back where it came from..we're good on that

More Satan developed food products.

Unless it has natural seeds, none of these lab-made fruits and vegetables have any nutritional value, it's like eating imitation meat. OLEWPodcasts➡️24/7

eyes rollin'

No.

Pizza finna be lit! 🔥
