Would you eat a genetically modified fish that’s bigger than you? | Full Comment | National Post

Would you eat a genetically modified fish that’s bigger than you? | Full Comment | National Post: "This month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decides if American markets are ready for fish that have been genetically engineered with growth hormones to make them grow twice as fast. If approved — and it looks likely — the fish will be the first genetically engineered animal ever sold for human consumption. We already have gigantic strawberries with no taste, and perfectly-shaped bananas that look like they’ve been raised on steroids. Do we really want pumped-up megafish as well? Would you eat it?"
