Deadline to stop the FDA from approving GMO salmon



Any day now, the first genetically modified animal ever to enter our food supply, AquaBounty salmon, could be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This fish hasn't been proven safe for humans. But the FDA may approve it based on a limited, flawed, and inadequate study — despite the fact that the same study identified elevated allergy-causing potential,1 and elevated levels of the IGF-1 growth hormone, which is linked to colon, prostate and breast cancers.

Don't kid, ...I love smoked salmon. I'm pissed.  >:(

After the Gulf Horizon and all the Corexit spewed into the Gulf of Mexico, you can't really eat Atlantic smoked salmon anymore. After Fukishima, you can't eat wild Pacific smoked salmon anymore. Farmed is pretty gross & nasty, and now they want to turn whatever salmon is left into a Frankenfood? ???  :'(
