Maybe instead of deisigning tasteless tomatos that ship well, we can use our scientific rescorces to design a variety of hemp that produces a much larger yield of fuel per plant. Hemp can be used to make paper as well, is this not correct?

Thank heaven I'm not the only one who hates those thick-skinned tomato look-alikes. At the prices they charge for them, you would expect something that remotely tastes like a tomato.

When possible, I drive out to the Farmer's Market on Saturdays and buy local tomatoes, but Florida tomatoes just don't make the cut. I grew up in Iowa and we always grew lots of tomatoes in our garden. For a while I lived in northern Ohio and they had excellent local tomatoes (Farmer's Market in Cuyahoga Falls). I love the smell of fresh tomatoes when you pick them off the vine. I think it comes from the mostly from the leaves, but it turns on my tomato cravings.
