The tomato needs to be eaten to disseminate its seeds in feces.

(Maybe not by insects though.)



We’ve been forcefully breeding plants and selecting traits WE desire for millennia. It’s time to stop and think.


Sorry, I did not really see the point you try to make.

The fact that fruits need to be eaten to perpetuate the species is not linked to the existence of humans.

Birds, mammals, many species disseminate seeds.
