Default Tomatoes with sprouting seeds inside.

In the seven decades that I've been eating tomatoes, this is the first time that I have seen so many store bought tomatoes with sprouting seeds inside them.

What gives? Do these new varieties bred to resist rough handling with their tougher inner walls have the disadvantage of sprouting seeds before they are consumed? Actually its quite disgusting to see these worm-like sprouts when the tomato is cut open.

It happens at times. No biggie unless it is happening at an alarming
rate for you with tomatoes that are otherwise just reaching their
eating peak.

AND several other things enter into this....are you buying the same
variety of tomatoes time after time and noticing this or are you
buying different sorts? Are you buying them all at the same store/farm
stand?
