toma-nnibis would have been a much better idea
Death by Tomato: "An Oregon scientist inspired by Homer Simpson has successfully created 'tomacco' -- a tomato plant that contains nicotine."
There has never been a clearer case of "just because you can do something doesn't mean you should". What really gets me is the part about how "Mr. Baur is having a Dr. Frankenstein moment, noting that nicotine, when ingested orally, can be fatal to humans at levels higher than 150 milligrams. He fears his tomacco plant contains "multiple fatal doses." Frankenfuckingfoods is right. Now I have to worry about my food being genetically engineered to kill me? Stealth murder using vegetables sounds like a conspiracy theorist's wet dream.
