A Genetic Fix to Put the Taste Back in Tomatoes
Tomatoes are practically weeds. They grow like crazy, and you can eat heirlooms as sweet or as savory as you like.<p>Sometimes I think I didn&#x27;t know wealth until I had a cherokee purple straight off the vine. You can practically make sashimi with it.<p>Now I&#x27;m just gonna come out and say it: fucking with genes worries me. It only takes one unforeseen toxic externality for the whole thing to turn out very poorly. (dangers of monocropping; turning plants into intellectual property, whatever the hell happened to pugs, etc.)<p>Just know how surprisingly easy it is to grow your own--and do! That&#x27;s all I&#x27;m saying.
