Genetically Engineered Salmon Close to FDA Approval (aka Frankenfish)
Speaking of GMOs, this is not sitting well with me either!
Genetically Engineered Salmon Nears FDA Approval
What bothers me:
"The end result is a fish that tastes like an Atlantic salmon but grows twice as fast, making it cheaper to produce and sell. Because the FDA likely won't require a label that says the salmon was genetically modified, consumers won't know the difference."

If they approve this I will just have to stick with Wild Alaskan salmon for DH.

It is so scary that they can get away with this.

After watching Dr. Oz I am not surprised anymore.

Re: Genetically Engineered Salmon Close to FDA Approval (aka Frankenfish)
farm raised salmon doesn't have any of the health benefits of wild caught
this will be even worse

Re: Genetically Engineered Salmon Close to FDA Approval (aka Frankenfish)
disgusting. I won't eat it. I won't spend my $$$ on food experiments - added a different salmon gene AND an eel gene???!!! there is just something fundamentally wrong with that.

Genetically Engineered Salmon Close to FDA Approval (aka Frankenfish)
I eat both Eel & Salmon.
Don't know why they need to mix the genes.
I'm torn.
I would prefer NOT have genetically enhanced ANYTHING. On the other side, I am sickened how we overfish.
I agree with PP about farm raised vs wild health benefits.
:(

Re: Genetically Engineered Salmon Close to FDA Approval (aka Frankenfish)
I find this frightening.
Also, my DH and I each keep kosher to a certain degree. We do not eat eel. I wonder if this new frankenfish would be considered kosher. Kosher fish need to have fins and scales, which this would. Very interesting...
