Frankin Fish for Dinner?

I just read (in NY Times) about fish (salmon) being genetically modified for human consumption. Something's very fishy about that. May I ask the question, "Who wants to buy genetically modified fish (created in a lab folks) for human consumption?" Are there huge demographics pointing this is what Americans want? I think not! Plain and simple GM salmon is a stupid idea, and frankly I don't see why money is being wasted for this kind of scientific development (of frankinfish). Why, people? Why? Salmon and meat in general should NOT, I repeat NOT be created in a lab for human (or animal) consumption. Nothing food related should be genetically modified for human consumption.

I bet you if they started enforcing labeling of GMO foods ~ the public would go wild. People's eyes would be opened. More would start to ask questions. Now a pound of meet is a pound of meat (well kinda they're not all the same quality factory farmed vs grass-fed). What if the next time you were at the market, you reached for that pound of ground beef you thought came from a cow off some farm, when in all actually originated from a lab? Would you still want to eat it (or buy it)?

What if next time you question why these days meat is labeled "all natural". I mean if the people went to their local grocery butcher shop and asked for a pound of ground beef, need they make sure to tell the butcher they'd like only the "natural" kind? I did wonder some time ago why it became so popular for companies to market "all natural" meat. That "all natural" actually made me question what I was buying and eating. Had I not been eating natural meat? What is it I had been eating...? Now let's say they started to create GMO beef, there would be a "all natural" section and another section with no special label on it (just a pound of beef, with a price tag). Imagine GMO beef existed (lets face it we're not far off from it) and was sold in the market (due to FDA approval), would YOU buy a pound of that beef even if it had a sticker indicating that it had been genetically modified? Even if that package had an FDA approval sticker on it?

That's why they don't want to approve GMO labeling. Pure and simple it wouldn't sell. And profits would be lost and people would come to realize the truth about our modern foods. That's not a good story for the biotech companies. Genetic modification should not dominate our food sources, but it's trying to.

Look at produce for example, a tomato can be purchased in US year round. It's a seasonal item and sometimes comes from Mexico where the climate is warmer in early spring but December? December is not tomato growing season unless the crop has been genetically modified to be resistant to cold weather etc., etc. You see my point. Genetic modification is nothing short of cell invasion. Big biotech companies have recreated the tomato in a lab. I think cells from a flounder fish should not be in the cells of a tomato, but in GMO tomatoes that's the true story. Without food labeling in place the consumer has no idea. Does this bother you? It should.

Why do big biotech companies do it? $$$ Money$$$. It's big business. Well I'm not shy on the topic. I won't eat salmon ever again if this get's approved. FDA want's to approve this crazy idea. They've already found this GMO salmon safe for human consumption. FDA = Federal Drug Administration. Well FDA, I don't trust you! Your approvals have proven an all time low when it comes to caring for fellow American lives. Here's a way to cut out spending Mr. President; get rid of the FDA (yep I said it) and hire third party (non-partisan, ) companies to do the work. {that's job creation} Let fellow man, care for fellow man rather than big government hide what's really going on. FDA protecting biotech companies due to special interest groups is a sad truth in America today. Can you tell I'm annoyed? It's not directed to you my reader. I'm just venting here.

Let's face it the FDA slaps their approval of waaay to many things without sufficient research. That's why they have so many recalled medications, etc. Than once a problem arises due to lack of research prior to approval they say oh lets look like a hero and create a recall, and point the finger at it's manufacturer and smile at the public. Not working for this girl. When I see FDA approved it carries little weight if any at all. I don't put my life in my government's hands, I put it in Jesus'. I don't want the government to swaddle and coddle. I want it to get out of our pockets and govern sovereignty, with the people's best interest.

I'm excited that the house moved to ban this latest GMO "food" from taking off. It gives me hope that there will be a future with food, simple and pure the way God made it still available for my grand kids (some day). A real thumbs up but still, (and I'll quote from NY Times not trying to infringe on copyright),

"the amendment's ultimate fate is uncertain. The Senate is unlikely to approve the House spending bill unmodified, and it is unclear whether the amendment has the broad support to survive to final passage"

People we have a voice. Our vote DOES count. My family deserves the best, your family does too. I'm quite sure "the best" is not lab created foods. I say NO GMO!

All the best!
