Genetically engineered salmon could make its way onto plates in the new year, but your body won't notice anything fishy about the filet, experts say.

The Food and Drug Administration has determined genetically engineered salmon won't threaten the environment, clearing it of all but one final hurdle before it shows up on shelves throughout the nation -- and igniting a final 60-day debate on whether it poses health risks before it's officially approved.

Although it's been nicknamed "Frankenfish" by critics, health professionals say they aren't worried the lab-engineered salmon will cause more allergies or other harmful effects than any other breed of fish.

"The hard science part is that we have been creating [animals] using genes and natural selection for years to genetically predict what kinds of food animals, and recreational animals and such we have on our planet," said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.

lol "It isn't my fault! But the "bastards" of scientists "aren't going to be satisfied until they screw up nature completely!" Well, If you mess with nature "there's a side effect somewhere" They should really be worried!!

The "bastards" of cats and you "aren't going to be satisfied until they eat every fish in nature completely!" Well, if you eat all the fish, you screw nature up as a "side effect somewhere" The scientists are worried and are making these fishes for you. Eat these GM fishes and leave "nature alone!" No!??!!?

No no! Fish in nature won't be gone. There will always be fish In the wild. As long as the Scientists Bastards" Don't mess with them. But these fish are pretty much sterile "Scientists Bastards" caused the side effect . Just imagine, you being sterile "No babies- No gene spread" Oh shit. . Btw: Cats don't Just eat fish And If you want to put unknown substances into you body. Go a head. Just stop altering mother nature!

I thought the term was "there are plenty of fish in the sea", yet if that was the case, why would anyone ever die of starvation?
Because warlords take their food. I've always wondered when I see those ads that say some kind walks 20 miles to water everyday... why don't they move closer to the water?

Firecat do you know what's in fish to begin with?

There's plenty of fish in the sea, let the scientists play with a few of them. Sharing is caring, cat. Not all fish are belong to you.

Ha camelCase > Mess with nature and nature will mess with you! ;)

So how is one that's been genetically modified different to you?
Well, It's not natural at all. Nature didn't caused these crap! ( greedy scientists did) It's cruel to genetically modify animals. And genetically modified foods have been known to cause diseases and other crap. Hmm To "grow fast" a certain amount of protein is required. Dosent it?

Btw: How many "other fish species must be sacrificed" to feed this freaky Salmon?

Impossible. Varine has the "Arena Trap" ability.

Don't be silly. I simply cast a Confund charm on Cheshire, confusing it into believing a surreal hallucination.

You can always try!
Well, If at first you don't succeed, try again. "Then quit trying"
That's pretty good advice, actually!
