I’m gonna start a nasty rumour about purple tomatoes.
A friend and I caught the end of a news broadcast one night in the early naughts. We both thought we heard the presenter announce the death of Peter Garrett. Before long we’d informed lots of friends of Garret’s passing. Disturbingly, the rumour starting coming back to us from people we hadn’t told. It was years before I heard a thing about Garrett and found out he was alive.
That’s the kind of rumour I’m going to spread about purple tomatoes.
Anthocyanin isn’t FDA approved as a food additive, so this company bioengineered it to have more “naturally” to get around FDA regulations to pump a fruit full of something no evidence shows has a health benefit and is just cranking up the sugar content.
There’s absolutely no reason to make shit up, and using science would be more effective.
The target demographic they’re going after by marketing it as a health food are going to be interested to find out it’s actually more unhealthy than normal tomatoes.
Thanks for looking into it. I was being lazy.

I mean, you don’t need to spread rumours…

OK OK you win. I just wanted to tell my Garrett story.
