Ping !

(From the article):"The GM Purple Tomato was engineered by scientists at Norfolk Plant Sciences in the UK. Led by biochemist Cathie Martin and her team,
the project aimed to harness the natural properties of anthocyanins, compounds found in blueberries and blackberries, to enhance the nutritional profile of tomatoes."

"According to Norfolk Healthy Produce, the U.S. subsidiary of Norfolk Plant Sciences,
the Purple Tomatoes are a “rich source of antioxidants” due to the increased content of anthocyanins.
Unlike domesticated tomatoes which contain anthocyanins in the skin, the Purple Tomato contains anthocyanins throughout the whole tomato"

"Unlike previous GM crops primarily targeted at commercial producers, this tomato is the first GM food crop directly marketed to home gardeners in the United States,
offering an opportunity for individuals to engage with biotechnology in their own backyard.
According to Norfolk Healthy Produce, more than 13,000 Purple Tomato seed orders have already shipped."

Franken-food fear porn.

Count the number of facts followed immediately by speculation.
Example: Increasing AntiOx CAN be healthy. Too much MAY be unhealthy.

What bad things will happen if we grow it in our gardens? Get specific. Not enough just to say it’s GMO.

I like my tomatoes red, my potatoes white, and my yams orange. Some of these new hybrid vegs come in dreadful hues: brown-purplish tomatoes, for example

It will cross-pollinate with your Heirloom tomatoes and then they will produce seed that is not true................

The Number One rule about healthy eating:

If you eat nothing, you’ll be dead in three weeks.

Corruption of the food supply.

Granted tomatoes MOSTLY self-pollinate, but cross pollination can occur and is impossible to control.

Just look at the result of invasive species of plants, insects, and animals.

And if they can do this, what else might they be doing to the seed stock that we don’t know about? Things that they are keeping under wraps because they know how people would react if we found out.

The results of that are horrific to contemplate.
