Thanked: 1184What are they feeding us ????
This simple story of making a sandwich has left me wondering I was going to make a BLT tonight for supper. Below is 2 pictures of the tomato I was going to use.
Normal looking tomato, red and firm, Looks great right?
Now, my mother (80 years old ) was raised on a farm, and has seen many a tomato. So when she cut this one open and said "What the hell is that" I felt summoned to look.
My first reaction was worms because I have never seen anything like that in a tomato before and I have seen my share.
My second guess was that the seeds had sprouted inside the fruit. Now I am left wondering what kind of tomato it is and where did it come from. Is this some new genetically modified test tube experiment we are all testing without our knowledge or have I just been unlucky all my life and never seen the full extent of nature at work ? I thought I had seen about all you could see inside a tomato. This is not a shocking thing but VERY unusual in my world of nature. I would have bet 100s that this was not possible. Maybe in a rotten one or maybe this is the new face of rotten. In which case how do you tell at the store ? I have to get someplace where I can grow all my own food again soon :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

they do look like they germinated inside,
could be because they have been selectively breed for faster growth/maturity,
and for shelf life longevity along with many other traits.
People raise a fuss when it is cattle/livestock,
but hey the native Americans were doing it pre Columbus or you would not have pop corn.
None the less a bit disturbingIt is just Whisker Whacking
Relax and Enjoy!

Funny how few people know that corn is not natural. It was genetically engineered by native Americans...by accident, on purpose, don't know, but why do you think it comes out the same as it goes in? Not natural, your body isn't built to process it. Corn also won't survive in the wild, human intervention aka farming is required or it dies.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Thanked: 1184Man has been manipulating everything that grows since he noticed it happening naturally. Cross pollinating, cloning, grafting and budding, etc.
What I am not to fond of is genetically modifying. Eat what you want but know what it is and how it's made. Ever eat some very tasty meat that was a deal at the supper market but wonder what the cut was ? Look up meat glue but get a barf bag handy :<0)Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Being a restaurateur, I've seen a lot of "food" that really isn't "food" anymore. It's to the point now where, along the line of the OP, we really don't know what we are eating.
I know this though, every year my father plants vegetables in his backyard and every year come picking time, I'm eating veggies that taste nothing like store bought and sometimes even produce market bought for the restaurant.
Makes you wonder for sure.
