		<description>The lemato is from the website www.worth1000.com which is a well known photoshop contest website.  I contacted the original creator of the image so he could see what they did with his image.

That article is a load of bunk.</description>

		<description>Is that website trying to be serious? People have already taken it apart. All I wanted to touch on is that I&#039;ve sniffed a pack of grapples and they smell really strongly like grape soda, nasty. They must sell, because they&#039;ve been around for years but it can&#039;t be to convince a kid to eat fruit because even if they do taste like actual grapes--GRAPES ARE FRUIT TOO. I just don&#039;t understand.</description>

		<description>Why create strange hybrids? Are we all so bored with our food that we have to play with it? It&#039;s not offensive to me, just... pointless.</description>

		<description>This article is total bollocks.  

The references on the giant raisin and grapple both link to a page that is full of obvious jokes.  

Humo&#039;s got it right on carrots, pluots and tangelos.  On top of that,the GMO carrots mentioned are modified to increase calcium, not change colour.

The lemon tomato is not called a lemato, does not look like the picture (duh), has basil, not lemon genes as mentioned above, and apparently smells/tastes of &quot;perfume, rose, geranium and lemongrass&quot;, not lemons.

The insulin lettuce one seems about the only legit thing on the whole page.

Normally I&#039;d just sigh and ignore an article like this, but I am feeling decidedly intolerant of poor science reporting this morning.</description>

		<description>Sorry, but this is completely ridiculous.

Ok, the Grapple case is already debunked.

Colourful carrots is normal, orange carrots are only the ones produced and sold in industrial scale (a bit like yellow maize, vs the white, blue, red...).
Plum and Apricots are related, so the Pluot is not a weird feat. It isn&#039;t even a GMO, just a hybrid.
The Tangelo case is even worse: Citrus easily hybridize between each others, even in wilderness. The Tangelo is just a commercially interesting hybrid. Even the Grapefruit is a hybrid.</description>

		<description>I love environmentalists with no idea about what they are talking about. Grapples are just apples injected with grape juice, says so right on the package. The lemon tomato, really just a tomato hybrid with lemon BASIL genes.</description>

		<description>Grapples are not a weird hybrid of grapes and apples, as the article states, but apples that have been soaked in grape flavoring. It says so right on the Grapple website: http://www.grapplefruits.com/process.html
I thought apples were pretty perfect to begin with, but apparently not.</description>
