But what happens when humans ingest said hormone by eating these tomatoes?

I imagine not much if you are not a tomato plant.

You grow tomatoes in strange, new places.

Used to get kidney stones now I get kidney tomatoes.

At least they are softer in comparison.

I'll be honest, I really don't need to increase the yield of my cherry tomato plants lol
