FDA Approval For Genetically Modified Salmon That Grow Super Fast
The genetically modified salmon are produced by AquaBounty Technologies, based in Maynard, Massachusetts. Their AquAdvantage salmon are Atlantic salmon that combine a growth hormone gene from Chinook salmon and a control gene from an eel-like creature called the ocean pout that cranks out the growth hormone. The result is that the AquAdvantage salmon grow faster, cutting the time to reach market weight by about half – 18 months compared instead of three years required by normal salmon. Despite the accelerated growth rate, the resultant salmon don’t grow to be any larger than their wild counterparts.
The FDA decision is a major victory for genetically modified foods. If the fish do end up on dinner plates across the US – and it certainly appears as though they will – the AquAdvantage salmon could pave the way for genetically modified foods of all kinds.

If the ? taste good I will probably still eat it this is no different than the agriculture industry pumping steroids and ? into food products.
Its all about quantity production and turning as much profit as possible to those companies. -

Food is food........newsflash, man has been genetically modifying food for thousands of years, it's just done in a more precise, targeted manner now.

I feel you bro.....
Faced with starvation, I would eat nearly anything......

Not like this.......

Miss me with that Frankenstein ? ........The Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act would force food manufacturers to label fruits, vegetables, processed foods and seafood as genetically altered. The Food and Drug Administration has allowed genetically altered foods to be sold without labeling since 1992 and does not require safety studies of such foods.
Washington state has introduced a ballot initiative titled I-522 that seeks labeling and transparency of these foods. Whole Foods (WFM) announced in April that it would label all products containing GMOs in its U.S. and Canadian stores by 2018.
Pollan says there has been a lot of support in Washington by local farmers and residents to pass the state's GMO bill. Telling people where their food comes from should be a “fundamental right,” he argues.
“Many people are absolutely fine with genetically modified food,” he says. “This is not an argument that it’s dangerous. But the way food is produced is relevant to the consumer. There are people who care. Personal responsibility should rule. But personal responsibility depends on information.”

When they gon' do my tuna like this is want my tuna turned up too aaaye

I'd eat all three of these fish, so I approve."This experimental technology merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding," it says.

In June 2006 the Unilever company announced that it would use genetically modified yeast to grow antifreeze proteins based on a gene from the ocean pout, and use it to improve the consistency and storage properties of its ice cream brands.

Yuck, Drew you heard about those Swiss Super Cows? they are muscular as ? , genetically modified of course, but supposed to have the most lean beef ever.

are you sure you're not confusing them with Belgian Blues? because those cows are not genetically modified.Lou Cypher wrote: »Yuck, Drew you heard about those Swiss Super Cows? they are muscular as ? , genetically modified of course-

Yeah......
I was gonna go there.......
But that leads us to the question of if this same process has been done with humans??????
Selective Breeding that is.........
-
Miss me with that Frankenstein ? ........White folks stay ? with the food supply. Now I'm am inclined to believe some conspiratorial ? in regards as to why white folks stay ? with the food supply.

well, in their case it's a mutation... but humans can have (and have had) that same mutationYeah......

as far as the selective breeding, i mean, someone's on this forum every couple of days noting it's happened in some circumstances that i cannot remember the specifics of right now
