GMO salmon in our grocery stores

If you thought that salmon you ate was a natural organism, I hope you don't live in Canada. It turns out that GMO salmon have been on the market for more than a year in this country. Unlabeled. Untested by the government. Raised on who knows what hormones and feed stock. And that feed stock collected from places unknown - and with mysterious practices.

That's according to an article in the CBC passed along by my mum. It's been in the news before, but I suspect that not enough people are hearing about this.

(FWIW, if I somehow caught the GMO fish appearing in the pic at the bottom of that second article, I think I'd throw it back. It looks .. wrong. Soft and bloated. Female steroids, perhaps?)

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
