New, genetically modified purple tomato may hit U.S. grocery market stands 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."

What

Actually, this wound be a fun alternative when hosting a gothic-style dinner. As long as the taste like the same thing, I see no reason to try them. As long as we don’t turn purple, it could work out fine. 💜

Nuts

Why

what in the actual fuck is that😀

People can barely afford red tomatoes. 🤣

No thanks smells like bill gates shit to me.

Que pinches porquerías nos dan de tragar, y no lo dudo haya sido el maldito Monsanto.😡😡

No Thanks 🙏🏾

😕

Sounds healthy. Fuck those vegetables grown in the soil with vitamin D & other nutrients & benefits. Bring on the genetically modified shit

Hey babe wake up new tomato just dropped

Uhm what

made in a lab just like the other thing made in a lab in 2019 and then sent out for trials... big blue city folk should eat this up as soon as it hits the market...

Already growing them

In Europe they protect citizens from harmful food. In the US, the FDA takes its bribe and unleashes GMOs and cancer causing chemicals as 'food' on the people. fuck this.

IliganCa 🤮

NO

Sooooo you’re telling that it looks like this because you enhanced the antioxidants 🤨🧐

What’s wrong with the red ones?

Looking at this shit and avoiding it like…

Oh joy, they made the Simpson's Tomacco plant.

Why?

Are they modifying them to make us sick, get mysterious illnesses so we have to run to the Dr ( big pharma is going to like that) get fake vaccines ?! 😂 yeah, no thanks, I take my red tomatoes.

How ‘bout we just figure out how to get ripe tomatoes in the stores?

Pass.

Maybe they can splice mRNA covid vaccine into it too. 😅

Like everything else? Lmao

Probably pricey 💜💜

Nasty

No thank you.

Yeah, that’s gonna be a “no” for me. Conceivably, we’re talking about purple tomato slices on burgers, purple sauce on pasta, and purple sauce on pizzas, right? I’ll pass.

Sorry...no

Thanks ABC news for that absolutely worthless news..slow day I guess

Why

Why does the FDA approve this crap?

At least they made it purple so we don’t mistake it for a tomato that’s safe to eat.

Why?

nope

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

that sounds pretty awesome.

GMO = cancer

🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 Toss It All In The 🗑 🚮 🗑expeditiously!

I think I'll just keep growing Cherokee Purple heirlooms thanks.

Sad. Frist Biotech Virus now Biotech Food.

Can you just replenish the nutrients in the soil so they have some flavor?

ROXSystem 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thanks Joe

Next up! Purple ketchup!

Sure. Why not? Humans have messing with genetics for thousands of years.

Trans-tomatoes, they got your kids now your food is next

Finally !!! Purple ketchup!!!

I like real fruits and veggies, not man made

I’m pretty excited I can’t wait

Nobody wants that lab made BS!

But what does it taste like?

Nah we’re good
