I'm not a fish person to begin with. I like to fish and the ONLY fish I eat is catfish.
 
As usual, ABC news is a little late to the party.



But, anyway, while the USDA (Dept of Agriculture) is at least a little hesitant in pushing the limits of biotechnology, it would appear that the FDA (Food and Drug Admin) is all for it, and they are both agencies under the Executive branch of the US Government (the FDA being under the Department of Health while Agriculture is its own department). Which means we have 'funny fish' swimming around the ocean soon, if they're not already.


On September 19-21, 2010, the FDA will hold two public meetings on AquAdvantage Salmon, a genetically engineered (GE) Atlantic salmon intended to be used for food
