It's disgusting.. people should leave nature alone.. so we have Frankenstein plants.. now fish. Where will all this end? Genetically modified people?

I think this is sorta like playing god and seems wrong IMO. We just dont know what the effects could be on the various ecosystems if they should be released in the wild either intentionally or accidentally. Maybe nothing but who knows?

We should not playing around with nature, or it might turn around and bite us!

Nice find though!

No. That's just the beginning.

Anything that the human race tampers with, you know it's just a matter of time before they screw something up.

Meh.

I worked in the salmon processing plant for 3 years (before I decided enoughs enough and went to college lol)

They're were modified. I ate them weekly, smoked. Tasted fine.

We've been eating genetically modified chickens that grow much faster than the average bird from sometime now. Not much we can do about, we've been plundering the fisheries for too long and the fish stocks are running low. I'm sure the GM fish won't be required to be labeled either. It's all about making money.

And people wonder why instances of cancer, autism, diabetes, etc., are rising exponentially. Could it possibly be that we hardly eat any real food anymore? You know, stuff human beings have evolved to ingest as sustenance?

Dirty fuel is hard on an engine. Our bodies aren't designed for this stuff, be it through genetic or chemical manipulation--"food" that doesn't exist naturally. It doesn't take a MD to figure this out. It's just common sense.

No damn way! After the fiasco Monsanto had in India, not to mention GMO's being banned in just about every country except America, no damn way i'm going to heat GMO salmon.

Monsanto and company may have the heavy hand on Congress but it doesn't mean i have to eat their crap.

I think many people agree with your position.

However, this entire enterprise is "transnational" in nature. Our government has already demonstrated quite clearly that in order to protect commercial success, they are willing to co-opt public opinion. If the truth is that any salmon labeled "GMO" won't sell... they will simply alter the perception and marketing to engender consumer ignorance, rather than an informed choice. It is the way the always manufacture consent.

This is why 'supra-national' organizations like the UN with it's flagship Codex Alimentarium is moving relentlessly towards a paradigm where it is the quote - government - unquote, who will be the sole arbiter of what can and what cannot be distributed as food. Thus the consumer needn't worry about the details...

Soon as this gets the thumbs up, which im sure the bribes and corruption will make it so...

....just like I avoid all corn and soy based gmo products, I will now be adding Salmon to the list of No no's

Now, this is the response we need, and all we can hope for.
Its too late for the FDA and those who approve this carp.

And how is it exactly that this thread makes front page with 10 piddly flags?? My same thread with same title had 20 flags and 30 stars but was left buried for the last week. Waaaaa!

Im pretty sure if you have been buying your salmon in most grocery stores, you have been eating GMO already, If it stated on the tiny label "Farm Raised" in bigger letters and "Color added" in smaller letters then you have already eaten it..Salmon was bread with another white fish that grew quickly but did not have that deep pink color, so they started adding the color in the feed to turn the meat pink..Its been on the market for a few years already. I only Buy Wild caught salmons. Huge difference in taste

Also to add. the dye used was banned in Europe because of retinal damage to human eyes, but they still used in in the US,.. Gota love the FDA

The Farm raised salmon was said to be a real salmon,, but it is not..And is and has been a threat to wild salmon.
