NOT GOOD AND WE ARE SEEING WAY TO MUCH OF THIS From the Article: What Could Go Wrong? Most Americans say they won’t eat GE fish and 91 percent want the FDA to disallow it on the market. Since these fish are significantly altered from the non-genetically modified salmon, the concern is that there could be health problems associated with eating it. But the FDA doesn’t care: GE foods have never been safety tested by the FDA, thanks to a 20-year-old policy that says it’s up to the biotech companies to determine the safety of GE foods. Right – they create these foods and conduct tests to prove they are safe. Now we all feel better, I’m sure. And The Daily Mail adds: Opponents of the ‘Frankenfish’ technology warn it could escape and interbreed with wild fish, undermining the genetics of the already-endangered Atlantic salmon – known as the ‘king of fishes’. They also argue that commercial production of the salmon could be beginning of concerted efforts to concoct other GM animals for human consumption, raising concerns about animal welfare and human health.
