To pick or not to pick? the question

I have some tomatoes growing on my still less than 2 feet tall tomato plants. They don't look sturdy enough to support a fully ripened tomato, and since I have had one plant bow over from the weight of a green tomato this morning and broken at the base of the main stem...they aren't.

My question is this:

Should I remove these early tomatoes before they have a chance to develop and break my plants? AND Will that have any negative effects?

What is the common practice for these types of situations?

Thanks!

Chelle
