GM Salmon

We just can't seem to help ourselves. The need to genetically tinker with food and now animals is practically unstoppable.

Genetically modified salmon, sound appetizing to you? Its on the dock and may soon be FDA approved.

NYT: Genetically Altered Salmon Get Closer to the Table
...salmon that can grow at twice the normal rate.


Next in line behind the salmon for possible approval would probably be the “enviropig,” developed at a Canadian university, which has less phosphorus pollution in its manure.


“You don’t get salmon the size of the Hindenburg...You can get to those target weights in a shorter time.”
