CAN’T WE JUST LEAVE THE TOMATOES ALONE?

The prospect of genetically modified purple tomatoes reaching the shelves has come a step closer.

From BBC

This was developed in Britain through Genetic Modification. The funny color is the result of a pigment known as anthocyanin.

The purple pigment is the result of the transfer of a gene from a snapdragon plant.

Canada’s New Energy Farms is the leading producer of these crops.

My view

While it is quite obvious to spot, the long term effect of these hybrids on humans has not been studied.

Think twice before you put something in your mouth.
