White House Relents and Allows the FDA To Proceed with Genetically Modified Salmon

The Food and Drug Administration today released an electronic version of its environmental assessment for a genetically modified salmon developed by AquaBounty Technologies—effectively giving its preliminary seal of approval on the first transgenic animal to be considered for federal approval.

Not a fan of this.

I have no issues with genetic modification, but I don't trust how accurately they can assess the impact of these salmon if they get out into the ocean. Plus salmon farming itself is dumb. Salmon are carnivorous so they have to be fed other fish to grow. Hello? Why not just eat the other fish?

Also, farmed salmon tastes terrible.

I don't know what to say...

We are in a brave new world.

I will not eat anymore Salmon unless it's labeled!

I like my GM modified foods labeled!

Just find good salmon. You will know when you eat it.

I only eat raw, cured, or poached salmon.
