Health Risk of Eating Salmon that is Genetically Modified

Just printed New On the Menu: Genetically Modified Salmon? from Vitacost.com's 'Daily Health News' Web site. Personally, I don't recommend approving this type of salmon because of its unnatural development even though a few people might disagree with me and think that it is entirely safe for us to eat. Maybe it's not.

A person never really knows the level of safety in creating life from such genes. We are not God, but only humans. Humans who have limitations. Science and technology can only do so much until an unhealthy-like quality appears, causing a side effect in certain people who are allergic to this type of genetically modified fish or salmon. 

Instead, we ought to think how could an agency clean and protect our oceans, so that there would be an adequate supply of natural salmons that are swimming in the waters for our fishermen to catch. And ask ourselves how safe is it to consume salmons that are farm-raised in ocean-based tanks.

This "somewhat" natural growing process of producing farm-raised salmon doesn't sound as though it's too extreme as to compare its growth rate to those of the genetically modified salmon, which, according to a source named in this article, will grow in tanks that are land-based.

What is frightening to read is the production of genetically modified salmon: "The eggs will be treated so that all fish that grow from them will be sterile females. That means they will not be able to reproduce, nor will they come into contact with males to reproduce with."

So how many of these type of fish does it take to create lifeless eggs that will never be able to become fertilized, giving birth to create natural fishes in the sea?

Don't be lazy. Help clean up our oceans. For now, stick with farm-raised salmons and don't get too technologically fancy. I'm only concerned and worried about the future of our natural planet called "Earth."

Should we all, at least, try to protect our earth's habitat instead of creating an artificial life form in our world? As a consumer who eats salmon, I hope these folks really think about this.
