I don’t need any “engineered” spicy tomato. I married one, 45 years ago and she’s still spicy to me.

"having only diverged around 19 million years ago. " Nonsense. Richard Feynman, one of the greatest of 20th Century scientists: It doesnt matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesnt matter how smart you are. If it doesnt agree with experiment, its wrong. Prove it.

"...engineered spicy tomato..."
If they can cross tomatoes with peppers it sounds good to me.
If it enhances the nutritional value of both, that is even better.

so the tomato is that sad, tasteless fruit that I've encountered on too many burgers. Clearly the author doesn't grow his own tomatoes.

I remember the super tomato from 20+ years ago. I wondered what happened. Guess we have too much food out there.

The best tasting tomaters have all been homegrown. Yum! Yup! First fruit I ever grew for myself and I couldn't believe the difference. If they could do that commercially they'd really get rich. I don't want mine to taste like salsa, I want it to taste like tomato, and I'll do the rest.

i’d prefer a 10 minute getting-off pill.

Spicy Tomato? Hell, just add some salt, or paprika, or pepper, or any number of spices...and you’ll have a “spicy tomato”.
This guy must be trying for a government research grant...

My Dad was always about cucumbers.
Always grew his own.
Cucumber sandwiches. Salt and pepper on white bread.
