Blog #8

http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/09/16/ohio-salmon.html This article talks about how farms wants to raise genetically modified fish if the get the FDA's apporval. The fish will be kept in indoor tanks so they won't effect the wild life. Raising fish would make them grow faster than usual. The Environmental Protection Agency and Division of Wildlife has a problem with it because they fear that it could kill wildlife in the Ohio's rivers. " The biggest barrier is the seawater that salmon grow in, he said. A release could kill wildlife in Ohio's freshwater streams and lakes, and regulators will have to decide whether that risk is acceptable." It's quite obvious that this is relavent to the FDA because it's up to them to say rather they want the farms to raise the fish, or if it's just a risk factor. I somewhat find it disgusting because it sounds like people will be eating frozen vegitables. And what I mean by that is that frozen or caned vegitables always taste fake. The carrots and corn don't taste what they're suppose to taste like and the corn aren't crunchy. Others see this as a good idea. They don't have to wait till season to get their favorite fish. "I would have no problem eating it and serving it to my family," Tiu said.
