What does farm raised salmon have to do with genetically modified salmon you ask? They are basically the same as far as unhealthy they are to consume.
We already know that any kind of farm raised fish have been found with high levels of dioxins and other contaminants. Not to mention the antibiotics and hormones they are shot full of to make they "grow" fatter. These farms are also contaminating the oceans with antibiotics and toxic chemicals, we have no idea of what these fish farms are doing to natural fish life in the oceans. However, we do know that dixoins cause cancer.
These new genetically modified salmon which will be raised in farms like this, which look all nice and pretty on the surface, but below the water where they will be breeding these frankenstein fish is a completely different story. If you are consuming farm raise fish, especially from China that Walmart sells, you are putting your health in great danger. Squeezed into pens, the animals are fed the same diets, injected with antibiotics and other drugs to fend off the inevitable disease outbreaks, and their waste washes into waterways, causing widespread pollution. In China, the problem is the disposal China allows of toxic chemicals, (dixoins) not only into its rivers, but also the ocean.
Only about 10 percent of salmon on the market in the U.S. is actually wild these days Alex Trent, executive director of the industry group Salmon of the Americas, told the New York Times.
A few years ago, farm-raised salmon would have come from Chile, but since a disease outbreak caused by the very things I mentioned above crashed the industry there, the U.S. has looked elsewhere for imports. If you live on the West Coast your farmed salmon is most likely from British Columbia. If you live elsewhere in the U.S., farm raise salmon is probably coming from either Norway, Ireland, Scotland and worse yet, China.
This is not the first time fish have been genetically modified. Genes from the ocean pout, an ugly bottom-dwelling fish resembling an eel, have been transplanted into Atlantic salmon.
The pout gene allows the salmon to produce growth hormones year-round, instead of just during warm months. This new GMO Atlantic Salmon grows five times as fast as a normal farm-raised salmon. 
These transgenic salmon reach marketable size much faster. Similar results were obtained by modifying the growth hormone gene in coho salmon using genes derived from sockeye salmon. The transgenic coho grew on average 11 times faster than unmodified fish, and the largest fish grew 37 times faster.
Making fish more disease resistant is what bioengineers are doing to natural fish. U.S. scientists transferred silk moth genes to channel catfish. These genes function as built-in fungicides and bactericides. Chinese researchers placed a
human interferon gene into grass carp for the same reason. Did you understand what I just said, a human-fish cross! When is madness going to stop? When is mankind going to stop screwing around with the natural order of food, plants, animals and now fish?
Other fish that have been genetically engineered include largemouth bass, northern pike, rainbow trout, sea bream, striped bass, tilapia and walleye.
Many scientists are very concerned that transgenic fish may be unsafe for people and the environment. Scientists are sharply divided in their views. Some scientsts regard such fish as the potential answer to the depletion of the world's diminishing world fish supplies. Some say a practical way to increase protein intake for many malnourished people in poor countries is by increasing production of farm-raised fish. They state this could relieve the strain on wild populations pressured by over harvest.
However, many scientists are very concerned that even if even a few fertile bioengineered fish manage to escape to oceans or freshwater bodies, the fish will not pose a severe ecological hazard. However, they are sadly mistakten as to the damage in just a few can do. This has already occurred in the South regarding a fish introduce in the waterways from Thailand. It is now threatening the local fish species because these fish are eating up the food the local fish thrive on. Many believe genetically modified fish could permanently eliminate many species of wild fish by diluting the wild gene pool. We are looking at the potential of the whole ecological systems could be at risk if transgenic fish prey on and outcompete native species, as many introduced exotic fish have already done as I have just explained, destroyed natural fish widlife.
Over the next few days the FDA is having Public Hearings and input concerning the approval of genetically modified salmon. This weekend,
September 19th and 20th, after these public hearings, the FDA will decide whether to approve genetically modified salmon or not.
I am calling out to all of my readers in the U.S. to help stop this approval. Below is a link to an organization that has setup a page where you can personally send an email/letter to FDA Commissioners in Washington to stop this approval. The public outcry must be huge to stop this, so I am
asking each of you over the next few days to please go to the website and stop this madness of genetically modifying natural wild salmon. We stop stop this madness. Can I count on you? This is your chance to stand up and be counted to effect change. If this approval is allowed, many scientists are stating that if these genetically modified salmon got into the wild, which they will, that has already been proven this happens with GMO fish, scientists are stating that
wild salmon will be extinct in 40 generations of wild salmon. Please click on the link below and send you email/letter to stop this approval.
STOP the FDA from approving GMO Salmon
On another subject...I must speak out about this...
I am becoming very concerned of what is occuring in America. Americans because of the economy, high unemployment, taxes and other issues are listening to the wrong people on how to fix our problems. Start making a difference by putting the right people in Congress to effect the must needed changes. And I'm sorry, I am not talking about these new Right Wing Tea Party Activists that have about has much brains as an ant in running our government. You elected President Obama for change, however, we must finish the job with like minded people as President Obama that see the urgency of correcting our problems. We do not need any idiots in Congress like Sarah Palin and why America are you making her a millionaire by purchasing her books and going to seminars that pay this woman $250,000 for an appearance. And now she has a TV deal for a syndicate travel show. Have people lost their minds supporting this woman in this way? A person that points to Russia and makes a statement like she did about foreign policy that is well...I think everyone remembers that not too bright blunder down insanity lane. No wonder people in Europe call some Americans stupid!
I want to make something very clear and want everyone to understand something that is being totally ignored by these right wing
activist nutcases. President Obama did not create the problems we have today. The problems we have today were caused by the last 2 years of the Clinton administration and the last eight years of the the worst President this country has ever had. I am so tired of hearing President Obama this and President Obama that, why doesn't he do things. It is very simple, he can't clean up ten years of the worst government administration overnite since the Reagan administration, who by the way opened up pandora's box by deregulating the banking industry, i.e. the financial mortgage blow up of 2009. And yes, we have some old cornies in Congress that are not doing what they should be doing, but America, that is your fault. You have set on your behinds for the last ten years before
Obama and let this mess occur by not paying attention to what was going on by Republican controlled Congress prior to this Democrat controlled
Congress.
The problem today is very simple, these politicians who let this happen are simply arguing over political definitions of which party is right to supposedly sovle these problems, however, none are sitting down and coming to common ground with common sense decisions to correct our problems today. America, you need to start calling, emailing, faxing your present elected officials and tell them your opinions and you've had enough of the standard quo-quo in Washington and you want something done today to bring the jobs back from to America, truly solve our energy problems with green renewable energy sources, and a health care program that every American, man, woman and child has medical care, even if it is provided by the government. Do you know that we are the
only western style democracy in the world that does not have a national health care program for all its' citizens. How backwards America still is in to many things and one of the reasons why is, for too many years, this country was being controlled by the religious right wing in this country and thank God that is no longer.
Wake up America...a huge dung pile of crap was laid on our country for ten years by two Presidents, and you expect a President that has only been in for only over little a year to magically wave his wand and everything is fixed? If you are that stupid to believe that can be done, then you are really in na-na land and that in itself explains why we are in this mess today, because of people like you. If you are not offended by that comment, then you are one of the "smart" people that know exactly what I mean by that comment and understand with "real" intelligence what our problems in this country are and that they are not going to solved by people parading down streets with rifles holding up signs saying, "get rid of the bums in Washington." The buck stops with you, the American voter, but you have to make those accountable you have put in office and the only way you are going to do that is to pay attention to what they are and are not doing and correct them on it. If you think by voting in any one of these Tea Party candidates is going to solve our problems, think again! We will have a bigger mess and these people will simply in time fold into the Washington quo-quo mindset of, oh, we can do what we want because once I'm elected, no one is paying any attention to what I'm doing.
Stand up and when needed, call an idiot an idiot like Barney Frank did in Congress when he asked that woman "From what planet are you from", when she make her ignorant statement about death camps in the health care reform bill. And guess who started that rumor…Sarah Palin! DO I need to say any more about Sarah Palin? Stop and think about it. The Republican party is fighting among themselves and with the Tea Party Acitivists of what
the Republican party should stand for. This in itself should cause you to pause and say to yourself... none of these people really know what they are
talking about and they certainly do not have the best interests of Americans as their foremost concern to solve our problems. Do they? Instead they are fighting among themselves about political difference and none of them are really offering viable solutions in solving our problems, are they? The infamous Karl Rove is attacking his own party members. The Republican Tea Party Acitivist woman Angle in California who won the Republican primary, wants to abolish Social Security and the Eduation Department. What planet is this woman from I ask? And you should be asking yourself that same question. If the Republicans in on control of Congress this November, Mitch McConnell will be in charge. Banking and Insurance companies will be in control again. Senate committees wil be investigating President Obama all the way from his birth certificate to "death panels", and nothing will be accomplished in solving our problems of
high unemployment, bringing the jobs back home to America, energy, or a proper health care program for all Americans. The choice is yours America. Chose wisely this November. Am I saying that the Democrats have all the answers or will get done all that needs to get done. No, however, the other choice is even worse. We need to stay on top of those in office now and voice our voices loud and clear to them in Washington this is what needs to be done. That is something that Americans have not been doing for the last ten years. One voice can become millions, but YOU must start that one voice and becoming a Tea Party Activist
whose members have no viable solutions to our problems except get rid of everything is no solution.
The decision is yours. I pray you make the correct one America for all of our good. Come this November mid-term elections, do not think that by replacing members of Congress with so called "new blood" that is going to "fix" our problems. IT WON'T ! If you elect these idiots into office, you will only create more problems. What you need to do is start wriitng letters, getting petitions signed in your local neighborhoods with specific things you want addressed and get them to your presently elected Congressman. Put the pressure on them, regardless if they are Republicans or Democrats or Independents presently in office. But electing idiots into Congress will only create more problems. Please America start using some common sense instead of listenting to a woman that started this mess using a TWITTER account of all things.
And last....Job Creation, Healthcare Reform, Energy Reforms - These Need To Be Addressed NOW!
I have written extensively why we must brings the jobs back home to America. Cut all the tax credits these corporations are getting for moving jobs overseas. Make America the manufacturing giant it once was. Over the last 12 years we have lost over 11 million manufacturing jobs in this country. I have written that we need futher Health Reform and Energy Reforms in this country. We are on a collision source that either of these, Global Warming if not contained or Health Care Reform is not done, either will cause a depression. If you have not read my columns on these issues, I hope you will to read the facts as to why we must have these reforms. Also, my next column is going to bring to light the poor quality crap that corporations are having assembled in Mexico and other places, like appliances, refrigerators, stoves all because of greed. Did you know that hardly no refrigerators are made in the U.S. anymore and none of them warranty rusting and they only warranty the sealed systems like compressors n ow for only one year, when they used to for 5 and ten years! It is going to be a real shocker folks! Start buying made in USA people. Click on the MADE IN THE USA image at the top of the website for links to websites that list companies still making products in the USA. Remember Sam Walton, Founder of Walmart. He had these
huge signs at the front of each store that said, "We only sell what is made in the USA." Within a year after his death, his heirs changed that philosophy that created jobs in America. The signs came down and Walmart started forcing companies to go overseas to make their crap cheaper for Walmart. Result, the loss of
over ten million jobs over the last ten years.

Until you learn the facts, the truth, stop making yourself look like a fool by complaining and talking about things and following idiots that don't know what they are talking about. Empower yourself with knowledge, then speak up!
