Genetically Modified Salmon Soon Available?

[Sithwedgie]

Why the heck wouldn't it be safe to eat? I mean, if we let it breed with the wild population it could have some potential problems there but come on, is it going to give your mouth a tumor or something? Stupid question.

If it is safe to eat a salmon, and safe (while I have no idea what the taste would be) to eat Ocean Pout, then its safe to eat something that's a little of both.

[myndy86]

@mrmemanme Let me quote someone who understands the technology better than your friend. Geneticist David Suzuki said about GM foods. "The experiments simply haven`t been done and we now have become the guinea pigs.""Anyone that says `Oh, we know that this is perfectly safe`, I say is either unbelievably stupid or deliberately lying."

[myndy86]

@mrmemanme Sorry I just noticed your reply. The FDA generally doesn`t test GMOs, they just review data given to them by biotech companies. FDA approved Meridia for example, it was sold for several years and wasn`t until 29 people died from it that they took it off the market. There are many more examples just like that.

[irondmax]

anyone who excepts this crap is an idiot.

geneticaly modified animals and cops is stupid. acidents waiting to happen and poison us or eat us. idiots

tilapia made by god will grow fast and taste just fine.

wake up people

[PedacitoDeCiel]

Let them eat .. sterile fish.

[mrmemanme]

@myndy86 why would the fda clear this for consumption if they had evidence to suggest otherwise. they dont gain anything by clearing the food. Also as a very god friend of mine who is a Eminent scholar in Bioenergy and who has no connection with Aqau advantage salmon says that they are safe and people only fear them because they dont understand the technology used.

[boobgun222]

i would eat it

[mrmemanme]

There is nothing wrong with GM fish. They are essentially the same as normal salmon only they grow quicker. What is the problem? 

[myndy86]

@mrmemanme The American Academy of Environmental Medicine(AAEM) website states

"There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects."

"The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies."

"Also, because of the mounting data, it is biologically plausible for Genetically Modified Foods to cause adverse health effects in humans."

[TheHemlock77]

@mrmemanme The problem is that a single gene controls more than one function. There is very real concerns of potential unintended consequences of those other function. This is of particular concern when it comes to hormones. The technology simply is not advanced enough to be considered safe for human or animal consumption. Independent studies of gmo crops have shown that there is validation for these concerns.

[mrmemanme]

@TheHemlock77 Proffesor gilbert, Newcastle university, head of biogenics, no connection with this company says that they would be fine to eat and it is only due to poor media coverage that has lead to this anti gm stance.

[TheHemlock77]

@mrmemanme That is all well and good. What if there is human error in that conclusion? What about peer review? What about complete(not just superficial) public disclosure of all the people and organizations that fund the research of Newcastle University? I am very cautious because I am aware of the history of the FDA and the impact it has had. I prefer to err on the side of caution. At the very least I insist that this product labeled as GMO, So I can make an informed decision.

[RoboTekno]

Delicious :P

[Aspanaut]

The genes are very specific,its the same old salmon, just more of it in one fish.

[scottrex33]

Oh no! some one pooped in my underwear.

[707Andrewjot]

hmm soylent green

[dragonseptor]

Great introduction of this fish into the ocean what will happen to the eco balance

of course Monsanto could really care less! Evil corporate S.O.B.

[superbacon321]

cant wait to eatir and maxzagar lost of chemicals cause cancer in High doses like salt

[LONGPORKBUFFET]

Have you all heard of the new genetically modified Human Chimera? It's a mix of Ostrich & Sheep. It's new scientific name is Cowardus Maximus Americanus.....and it's predicted to drive the original species, Red Bloodicus Americanus, into extinction within ONE generation! ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER & BIG PHARMA!!!

[LONGPORKBUFFET]

@LONGPORKBUFFET I was being sarcastic of course. The new GM salmon will, according to scientists, wipe out real, wild salmon within 40 generations. If people want to eat GM food (that's been proven to cause sterility) that's fine with me! Just label it so us smart people can avoid it...then hopefully all the morons who DO eat it won't be able to breed, thereby improving the Human gene pool! :]

[Saltletts107]

@shannonsurreal GMO "crap" is bad for you?

Really? Where are your studies?

On what did you base the assumption?

Should I answer that? I will spare you the work ;-)

Because you are uneducated, do you even understand how this works?

If you would, you wouldn't claim (all) GMOs as bad.

[Saltletts107]

@shannonsurreal wow, you know what? listening to you causes cancer too. Please show me some links that support your crazy hypophysis. The only articles I could find were either from the last decade (obsolete) or about Monsanto (they are evil, I agree), but you are making up a stereotype and call every GMO bad.

At least get your facts straight.

[bilashhossain]

wow this need to be stopped i mean come on people do you really wanna risk eating a genetically modified salmon??? I WOULD NEVER EAT A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FISH, I REFUSE!!!

[Clickersome]

@bilashhossain That's your decision. Not everybody has to eat it you know. Only the people who are not pussies will eat GM foods.

[bilashhossain]

@Clickersome haha yea like I'll trust some humans to engineer the food i eat. But you could submit to them if you want to & eat their experiments if you wish

[GimmeSomeTruth1971]

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

[wchak]

the girl is ugly

[mwcdx]

The FDA will tell the Sheeeple its grass and they will eat it . Bbaaaaaa !!!

[Clickersome]

I don't get it at why people are so upset over an awesome genetic modifications of a simple fish. It's only the beginning I say.

[kousoulides]

@Clickersome agree

[Raener]

@Clickersome If it's the beginning why are they putting it up for sale for consumption without enough research on health benefits in the long run? The FDA knows it's not fully tested but is still pushing for it. This is unsafe and should not be eaten unless tests years or generations later or testing shows it's okay. Even if it's safe to eat, it can extinct normal salmon from the wild within 40 years. When the FDA have someone to keep checks and balances on them maybe I'd be more trusting.

[DeeKnit7]

Reject the approval of any and all GMO food products. Stop poisoning us and the future of our children in the name of science. All foods and animals products should be organically grown, care for and processed. The FDA is a traitor to the American people and have continued to turn its head to the Big Corp. and deep pocket politicians. You serve your own purpose only.

[thesepipesRclean]

I signed a petition against this at byte style dot tv . Everyone should do this .

[Standingwithfeast]

sterile? Another lie. They claim the grass carp in Fla will not reproduce too. and Look what happened, they reproduce anyway. People try to play god and destroy the Lord's nature.

[kousoulides]

@Standingwithfeast THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOD. Let us eat the chip salmon! OK?

[Standingwithfeast]

@kousoulides No God exist for eternity, but you won't. You folks are stupid to eat RFID chipped salmon, but I prefer to have potatoe chips with fish. Go back to hell where you came from and stay there you Cointelpro nut! And go suck on your GMO mother's titts and ask for more. If I am a nut like you, I will say you don't exist. If you don't think God exist, then go buy all GMO products and eat up all the chemical filled junk food, and look in the mirror and worship yourself in public!

[kousoulides]

@Standingwithfeast You are Crazy..

And anyways I thought you Godworshiping people believed you will live for eternity (Either in Heaven or in hell) That is what you believe right? otherwise whats the whole point?. That is why you made up your imaginary friend in the sky at first place right? To ignore the fact that you are going to die. Exactly like you ignore the fact that GMS is safe for consumption.

[Standingwithfeast]

@kousoulides What a moron you are to tell me what I believe in, which you have no clue. And on your part, "the fact that GMS is safe for consumption"? your brain is fried and beyond repair. From now on don't talk to me unless you speak logic to me.

There is no eternal hell by the way. You who rejects your Creator are already in hell.

"imaginary friend in the sky"? According to you your mind doesn't exist; therefore, you are just an imagination of yourself. Your are crazy!

[natasha24661]

its all fukn over

[MaxZagar]

Plus it comes with a good dose of anti-bionics, and the best its a fat with baroque included in the fins, (small text; might cause cancer and infertility). Check out the movie Darwins Nightmare and the Nile Perch.

[skylabx2000]

WTF is wrong with these people

[mwcdx]

First you have GMO plants , next you have GMO animals, and last but not least is GMO people. OOOoooooBBbbaaaaaaammaa saaaave Uuuuuuus.Who in the hell gave the FDA the right to play GOD?

[rjanis123]

oh good a sequel to the movie "The World According to Monsanto" will be coming soon... maybe we'll call it Jurassic Water Park

[MuammarAlGathafi]

Tastes like the real thing! Yummy!
