Genetically Modified Salmon Is Safe to Eat and Can Be Sold In U.S., FDA Says
Salmon genetically modified to grow faster is safe to eat and may be sold in the United States, federal regulators said Thursday [11-19-15].
Companies can voluntarily label the salmon as genetically modified, or GM, but they don't have to, the Food and Drug Administration said.
"The FDA has approved AquaBounty Technologies' application for AquAdvantage Salmon, an Atlantic salmon that reaches market size more quickly than non-GE farm-raised Atlantic salmon," the agency said in a statement.
"The AquAdvantage Salmon may be raised only in land-based, contained hatchery tanks in two specific facilities in Canada and Panama," FDA said. The fisheries are taking care to make sure the modified salmon don't escape into the wild.
The FDA also said it would not require companies to label genetically modified food
Massachusetts-based AquaBounty has genetically engineered the salmon using two genes from two different species of fish that make it grow faster.

The above is a follow up on this post from all the way back to September 2008. Same company, same mad science. Although the above article states that the project has taken five years to achieve final approval, as seen, it has actually been over seven years since first announced. The post and comments below are excerpted from the original post and need little further comment other than to note that exactly what was then stated has now come to pass. First time ever. Namely unlabeled genetically-defiled mad-scientist Franken-creatures grown in containers as a food production system. Literally 'human chow'. And also definitely to note that now that the way has been fully cleared, literally no animal species is off limits to the gene-tamperers - so far 35 and counting.
Upon His finished creation the pronouncement of LORD God Almighty was "behold, it was very good" [Gen. 1:31]. Here is another behold - behold, it will not end well for foolish men in their blinded pride who destroy the perfect creation of the Almighty. And He has not the designation "Almighty" for no reason - Isaiah 13:6:

FDA Green Lights Genetically Engineered Animals For 'Human Chow' ""The Food and Drug Administration is expected on Thursday to announce proposals for regulating the meat and milk from genetically engineered animals." ...The first animal to go through these regulatory steps would probably be an Atlantic salmon developed by Aqua Bounty Technologies of Waltham, Mass. It contains DNA from another type of salmon and from pout, another ocean fish, that allows the salmon to grow to market weight in 18 months instead of 30..."
re: 'DNA from another type'
Man plays God, man loses -- Creating a 'global food production system' is the goal. 'Human chow' for the global serfdom. The godless self-serving would-be overlords of the human populations of the earth have envisioned, they believe, a way to create an efficient high-yield lowest-cost food manufacturing system by genetically 'improving' upon the natural order. And it's a 'go'. The green light has now been granted for the manufacture of the unlabeled 'human chow', and it looks to be ending up on dinner tables across the globe soon.
Crossing the genetic boundaries between different species is a very serious violation of God's created order, truly beyond words to express. The Word of God in the book of Genesis records God's own assessment of all that he made...His creation...everything after it's kind (Gen. 1:11-12,21,25). At the end of the sixth day, when all the work had been completed, we read..."God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good". (Gen. 1:31)
The foolishness of these men, who have already "crossed the lines" here, not to mention their ongoing violation of the animal/human genetic boundaries (see: Congress and *chimeras), knows no boundaries. It is surely a sign of the lateness of the hour in which we live. Isaiah the prophet may have been referring to this very thing when he spoke of the conditions that would prevail upon the earth just prior to the "day of the LORD". That is the coming day when God will deal with those who defile the earth, and transgress the laws, and change the ordinance. Altering His "very good" creation certainly falls into each of those categories. [see post; 9-20-08]
