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

[This should keep me out of any future doghouse for a few weeks]. /sarc

"having only diverged around 19 million years ago. " Nonsense. Richard Feynman, one of the greatest of 20th Century scientists: It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s 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.

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...

Just a decent flavorful tomato would be good.

Cant touch heirlooms because of this.

Once upon a time I loved Tomato’s. Then they messed with the Genetics and the way they grow them. Now they are totally terrible. Gross texture, and no flavor. I usually pick them out of everything and throw them away.

But every once in a awhile I will get lucky and find ones closer to what they used to be like. But it does not happen often.
