 No.8064

US regulators on Thursday approved a type of genetically modified salmon, saying it is safe to eat and making it the first transgenic animal destined for American dinner tables.

The Food and Drug Administration's decision came after years of controversy over the fish, which is a type of new Atlantic salmon injected with a gene from Pacific Chinook salmon to make it grow faster.

The fish, called AquAdvantage Salmon, is made by AquaBounty Technologies in Massachusetts.

The FDA "has determined that they have met the regulatory requirements for approval, including that food from the fish is safe to eat," said Bernadette Dunham, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.

Regulators "determined that food from AquAdvantage Salmon is as safe to eat and as nutritious as food from other non-GE Atlantic salmon and that there are no biologically relevant differences in the nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon," the FDA said.

AquAdvantage Salmon may be raised only in land-based, contained hatchery tanks in two specific facilities in Canada and Panama, it added.

I hate farm raised fish.. Taste literally like a dank swamp filled with putrid water and algae.


 No.8074

Oh no, a fish with a different genetic sequence is edible.

Muh scary GMO boogie man.

Worry about antibiotics and pesticides, not "GMOs". You people are literally fucking retarded.

I don't find it scary, I simply find it sub-par and repulsive. The taste and texture are ghetto compared to the "natural" item.

Y'all can have your genetically engineered stuff. Eat it in good health.

I'd rather stick to the nature-made versions, kthxbai.

Has nothing to do with the genetics of the fish and everything to do with the environment the fish are raised in. I won't eat the fish based on the fact that they are farm raised, not because they are "genetically modified". Every living thing is genetically modified, human ingenuity has simply found a way to increase the speed at which this happens. Being against genetically modified food is like being against filtered water because rain is more natural.

I hope you mean specifically wild-caught fish and not food in general.

 No.8096

I like the fact that more GMOs are getting legalized, they aren't dangerous, people need to get over their superstitions.


 No.8103

>>8096

The only thing dangerous about them is that they basically require pesticides made by Monsanto, by themselves they are just as harmless as a "normal" strain of the same plant.

In other words, if you grew the stuff yourself, it would be just fine. You'd just have to watch it like a hawk or keep it in a hothouse if you aren't using pesticides.

The way they genetically engineered the plants is quite selfish, they could easily engineer them to not require pesticides, but that wouldn't be as lucrative.


 No.8129

People have been eating genetically modified chickens, cows and pigs for thousands of years. Who cares?

thanks nigga


 No.10032

Humans are GMOs. Every time a mosquito bites you more junk DNA gets shoved into your genome. We have shit from bacteria, from plants, from insects, from other animals littering our DNA.

But it's okay when nature does it, right? Nature good! Human bad!

Choke on a bitter almond and die.

ur mum's a GMO m8


 No.10193

>>10032

Horizontal gene transfer only happens if the invasive genetic material is somehow introduced to the nuclei of germline reproductive cells, so it is extraordinarily rare and largely inconsequential. That means the mosquito would have to bite you in the nuts during the ~40 day period of storage before you impregnated someone.
