Salmon-ite?

What do you guys thinks about genetically engineered salmon?  Is it a good idea or bad?  Would you eat it?

Baad idea


We have been subjected to experiments for decades by greedy corporations trying to make food cheaper without any regard to long term affects to humans.

I know, and have seen, huge dairy farms that inject hormones, and antibiotics to keep the cows alive longer because of such awful living conditions. I have seen these same dairy farmers, supplement the cows food with deal carcasses of animals, (where mad cow got a foothold) and the worst is adding huge amounts of salts to the cows diet, so they will drink more water, hence producing double the milk. The cows only live about half their normal life due to the high salts in the diet, yet the profit is there.

People need to start demanding safe foods, safe water and safe air. As long as congress is in the back pockets of big business, we will continue to be lab rats.

stop genetically engineering, much like the african killer bee, it will come back to bite us in the butt.

The real secret with the seed manufacturer's in the country trying to get genetically engineered seeds approved is because a genetically engineered seed produces a sterile seed on the plant, not a problem for consumers, but if the seed on subsequent generations is sterile, farmers cannot produce their own seed for the next year... they will have to buy it from the seed companies, built in continuous customers, genious!!!

my 2 cents.

I'm pretty much in total agreement with Stoggie.
I'm all for responsible aquaculture, but genetic engineering just seems fraught with unknown perils, perils which we wouldn't discover until we'd been at it for a while.......

I say keep 'em genetically natural.

Wow Stoggie, fantastic reply and it brings a lot of things together. 

I also agree with you and Piscean and was really horrified when I read the story, that was just my natural first reaction. 

Thanks!
