Interesting that the author, Ian Boyd, says: ' For example, it is easy to
judge the efficacy of an experiment to engineer a tomato to produce the
pigment anthocyanin5, because if it succeeds, that tomato is the colour of a
ripe plum.'  Does he not even know that ripe plums can be pure yellow
through to virtually black?  And he is an adviser to the government?
