People have an apprehension any time when man "interferes" with nature. The resistance grows even stronger when it comes to something that they will put into their own bodies, like food. So the genetically altered "Frankenfish" creates much discomfort among people who would prefer nature to grow their foods without any help from man. The problem is that the world population is growing at staggering rates, while natural resources, food and energy sources are dwindling as a result of the much greater demand. The solution has it always has, will come from science and innovation. When it comes to food, bioengineering is the most viable, if not the only solution that we have to this growing problem. So genetically modified salmon (and other food sources) is the wave of the future.

I can never understand this debate about GM food. It’s basically a few modified genes. Everything is digested by the peptidases and lipases in the digestive tract to their basic constituents. The stomach does not care if the food is genetically modified. Everything that can be digested is digested!!

I support this research and think this company should be given a subsidy to continue its research. The world is noy getting smaller and people need to eat. We need farmed solutions because the natural sources cannot meet demand. Sure there are going to be problems but more research will find answers. These businesses are searching for solutions and need our approval and support.

who's interest does the FDA represent? it should be the consumer but it feels like the corporations get too many free passes.
