Mary Shelley would have a field day with the approval of frankenfish by the FDA. Frankenfish is the controversial genetically engineered salmon that might even glow in the dark. Genetically engineered 'anything' is something to be concerned about. It is man's attempt at playing God with nature, taking control of food that was never intended to evolve in this particular way. Genetically engineered salmon appears to be 2-3 times larger than normal salmon and will only continue to be available IF the fisheries find and continue to have buying customers. It is my hope that this salmon will not infect the wild salmon industry which is precious. Salmon is one of our greatest brain foods, high in omega-3 fatty acids, and has the soothing effect of reducing inflammation in the cells. It is one of the great anti-inflammatory foods that is highly recommended to add to your diet. I do not know all the particulars about GMO salmon but if it is raised in environments anythink like farmed atlantic salmon, you might want to think twice or three times about eating it.
