Encore Online - FDA Goes for the Salmon!: "Let me start this piece off with a caveat: These words are my opinion. But, please, let me also be presumptuous: They should be every readers’, too. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) consist of organisms that have altered genetic material thanks to the use of an engineering technique called “recombinant DNA technology.” Basically, this means that genes from one life form get implemented into foreign life forms—just as nature did not intend. For those who have not heard or addressed the concept, please let this article serve as a wake-up call.
It’s bad enough that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed crops, such as soybeans, corn, canola and cotton (called the “Big 4”), to enter the foodstream as genetically altered. If all goes as expected, genetically modified salmon will soon be arriving on our dinner plates, too. This could happen as early as this month. Needless to say, trout and tilapia are not far behind."
