Tomato Genetically Modified To Be More Expensive
Quote

PASADENA, CA—Geneticists at the California Institute of Technology announced Monday that they have developed a tomato with a 31 percent larger price tag than a typical specimen of the vine-ripened fruit. "By utilizing an exciting new breakthrough in gene-splicing technology, we've been able to manipulate this new tomato with recombinant DNA in such a manner as to make it nearly as pricey as a similarly sized tangelo," said Dr. Lee Nolan, who headed up the project. "Genetically modified crops such as this will be instrumental in helping average grocers keep pace with unaffordable organic stores such as Whole Foods." In addition to vastly surpassing similar produce in expense, the new tomato will reportedly wipe out four species of ladybugs.

I can't watch...all those poor ladybugs. On the other hand, expensive tomatoes...tres chic. <eye roll>

What's wrong with regular tomatoes, Doc?
Fully fed yet I still hunger,
Torn inside,
Haunted I tell myself yet I still wander,
Down, inside,
It's tearing me apart.

Oh sensation,
Sin, slave of sensation.

Now call me cynical........ but wouldn't it be more cost-effective to wait until the annual narky (trust old dragon speak to spell it correctly NOT) came back so that they could re-modify the human DNA, so we would actually pay more for these tomatoes.

If you buy organic, you stay away from all the chemicals, pesticides and GMO shit. I have no desire to have a two headed child down the road. We only buy organic fruits and veggies when possible, as well as meat.

Had to use that URL shortener or it would have been too easy
a give-away.

Not as good as "Eastern Seaboard plunged into Darkness at
