OG Black Farmer Explains why Seedless Watermelon is NOT Genetically modified

[Doobie Doo]

I admit I've been buying seeded watermelon for this reason and the two I bought last month weren't sweet at all and cost a dollar extra at the store. I humbled myself two weeks ago and bought a seedless one and it was sweet

DMV Gawd. I remember being in Grandma's basement watching Petey Greene as a little kid.

I'm surprised it's not common knowledge. The caption got it wrong, it's like a MULE. It's sterile and therefore won't produce seeds. Pretty much everything that tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists consider to be "genetically modified" is just selectively bred to have traits that are favorable for consumption.

I never knew this, I thought seedless melons were some Frankenstein shyt.

When I moved down south I learned about the seedless process from an OG black farmer in Jax.

All fruits and veggies are modified. I know I don't want to eat a seeded banana

Might be good in a smoothie

They're not modified, they're selectively bred to have those traits. Flowers and fruits are done the same way.

You gonna need 4 or 5 of them to equal one regular banana. And the little one is more seeds than flesh

This is great

Buss that baby down and keep it in the fridgerator

I wonder if it's the same for seedless grapes

Just shows how retarded people are and will just run with what’s marketed to them at face value.

Also Texas brehs if you ever in Lockhart, TX. Hit up G&A Produce, black owned and some of the watermelon I ever had.

Selective breeding is genetic modification.

We learned about that in high school when genetics were first introduced. Seeds/plants/vegetables and also baldness in humans lol. That was a sad day when certain brehs learned they had a high probability of going bald lol. Not me tho.
