tomatoes are actually fairly low in nutrients compared to other fruits for sale in the store. they aren't bad for you, so there isn't any good reason to restrict tomato consumption, and i eat a fair amount of them myself, but i eat them with more nutritious fruits like red peppers, limes and avocadoes, or with high nutrient roots like beets or carrots and high-nutrient greens like kale and broccoli. tomatoes are better thought of as a low nutrient spice, like pepper or salt, whose primary purpose is to add flavour, than as a nutritious part of the meal. if you don't want to do the research, just make sure you always have a red pepper and/or an avocado in any meal you eat with a tomato in it.

adding more carotenoids won't do much good. these are very poor sources of vitamin a (your body will convert them to retinol, but only if it has to, and at a much lower efficiency rate than previously thought. humans are in truth actually not very good at converting carotenoids, like beta-carotene and lycopene, into vitamin a) and there is no good science upholding any sort of benefit of lycopene, despite many attempts. at best, lycopene seems to be a very low potency form of vitamin a. lutein has a more established role to play in eye health, but you're still better off eating an avocado or a carrot.

i'm not opposed to genetically modifying food if there's a potential benefit to it, but i don't see any value in this, and will stick to the red ones.

from what i can see, these people are accusing each other of doing the same thing to each other, but it was the fake left (who are authoritarian conservatives masquerading as a left) that started the fight. now, when faced with a counter-attack, they respond as though they're being attacked without cause. but, they started the fight!

the root cause of the problem here that needs to be addressed is the false moral superiority of the fake left that led it to decide it had some objective basis to censor speech it didn't like that is somehow different than when the authoritarian right does the same thing to it.

i'm left with little to no sympathy for the groups being targeted, as they brought this on themselves, and would rather point to the centuries old lesson of free speech that real leftists learned eons ego: if you censor your opponents when you are in power, they will retaliate when they gain power. so, don't do that.

free speech is absolute or it doesn't exist. you can't moderate free speech. and, as chomsky said, free speech means free speech for your opponents, it doesn't mean free speech for you.

....and certainly don't bitch and complain when they do to you what you did to them, if you insist on censoring them, despite the lessons of history that are right in front of you and which you refuse to learn. get off your fucking cross.

these groups are not leftists and are not allies of the left, they are conservative groups in disguise that are seeking to control what you think, feel, write, sing, draw and believe. they can go fuck themselves, and i hope trump's cronies take them down a notch.

i support striking islamic militants everywhere and anywhere they are, for any reason, at any time. they are a scourge, a parasite, a disease, that needs to be eradicated.

the details of trump's claims about nigeria may be a little sketchy, but they are also more solid than the liberal media is claiming. if the basic claim is that isis is killing christians in nigeria, that basic claim is correct.

but it doesn't matter that they're christians. isis might instead be killing secularists, modernists, animists, buddhists, socialists (all groups that isis would target), whatever, and isis should be wiped out, regardless of what particular group they are targeting in whatever region. it is not the fact that the islamic fascists are killing christians that makes them a vile parasite that needs to be eradicated, it is the core of their religious beliefs, which have no redeemable qualities, and cannot be tolerated in a civilized global community.
