Frankenfish

It was only a matter of time when genetically engineered (GE) animals would follow GE vegetables into the food market. Check out this horrific example.

GE salmon will breed with wild trout, creating a hybrid species. How are the salmon modified?  Atlantic salmon receive a gene from from pacific salmon that causes the fish to grow faster. Another added gene from an eel make this modified salmon grow throughout the year. Scary.

Many corporations have taken the "GE-free Seafood Pledge" which means they will not carry GE salmon.

Thankfully there are watchdog groups that keep an eye on practices that would otherwise go relatively unnoticed by the consumer.

Understandably, the food producer can increase yield, which boosts its bottom line. However, this gets done without due diligence in regard to health effects for the consumer.

Would you purchase seafood from a store if you knew it had been produced through genetic modification?
