Just what we need – more faux foods:

Tinker with the genetics of salmon and maybe you create a revolutionary new food source that could help the environment and feed the hungry.

Or maybe you’re creating what some say is an untested “frankenfish” that could cause unknown allergic reactions and the eventual decimation of the wild salmon population.

The Food and Drug Administration hears both arguments Monday when it begins a two-day meeting on whether to approve the marketing of the genetically engineered fish, which would be the first such animal approved for human consumption. The agency has already said the salmon, which grows twice as fast as conventional salmon, is as safe to eat as the traditional variety.

So if they do approve this new Resident Evil fish for consumption, how long before we hear the F.D.A. issue warnings about eating it? Also, will we soon see them crossbreed a fish with the lemon? Americans are lazy after all, and getting the lemon right in there would satisfy the laziness of our nation.
