Oh no, don't pull them, not the plants fault!  It looks like slight stink
bug damage, should be perfectly ok to eat.  There is only slight damage to
the outer skin.  The little caterpillars, etc make the little holes you see
in fruit and rot it.  Spray with some pyrethrins and they should be ok.

>>>Anyone recognize what is going on here? There doesn't seem to be any
holes in the center of the spots such as might be made by a stink bug.

Should these plants be pulled and disposed of? What about the other plants
in the container?
