Genetically Modified Fish anyone???

"An AquaBounty salmon rests in a tank behind a standard salmon that is the same age."

     Apparently, AquaBounty (a fish research company near Boston) has been working on creating these salmon that have been injected with a quick growing gene for quite a few years and if you check out the picture above, you can see what one of their creations looks like compared with a salmon that has not been tampered with. The company has been working on this product for 20 years and has been waiting for the FDA to approve it. They believe that they will recieve the approval they are looking for and be able to start entering this product for sale into the us market. Next on their list to mess with are Tilapia and Trout.
     My favorite quote in the article written by Andrew Schneider is: "It would take a worldwide famine to get people with more than a grade school education to willingly eat any animal or fish concocted in a laboratory. They would have to be starving," said the woman who worked on the United Nation's hunger program. I honestly believe that this is true. There isn't anyone that I have spoken with in the US who likes the idea of eating GMO's. What do you think? For me, I am going to stop eating seafood all together if the FDA decides to approve this "blue" technology.
