Democrats are attempting to stop the FDA from approving the sell of the first ever genetically engineered food, and I don't blame them.
http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/food-safety/121537-dems-in-both-chambers-urge-fda-to-reject-frankenfish-salmon
Here's a paragraph from the article with the gist of it:
FDA officials met last week to decide whether AquaBounty Technologies’ should be permitted to sell its genetically modified Atlantic salmon, which has been outfitted with a growth hormone gene from a Chinook salmon and an antifreeze gene from an ocean pout. The genes allow the new creation — dubbed the AquAdvantage salmon — to grow about twice as fast as its natural cousin.
Look, I'm all for advances in sciences and food preservation to certain extents, but I think this is going too far. What are some of your ideas on this and the FDA in general? Should the market ultimately decide or should the FDA be the experts and have the final say?
