Frankenfish coming to a store near you.

And how pray tell will you be able to know it's there? I can't say.

"To create the GE salmon, the Boston-based public company AquaBounty Technologies inserted DNA from another salmon species and an eel-like fish into the genome of an Atlantic salmon. The new genes make the GE salmon produce growth hormone all year round instead of just for three months a year as they normally would. This helps them grow to market size in 16 to 18 months instead of the usual 30 months required for an Atlantic salmon."

That alone sounds disturbing. And yet there still are people in this country who do not believe the public has a right know if their food has been genetically fucked with.
