Topic: Ge Salmon

AquaBounty Technologies is seeking FDA approval for genetically engineered (GE) salmon that grow twice as fast as natural fish. The process involves inserting genes from other fish and administering growth hormones. The hosts criticize the media coverage of the "Frankenfish" and express concern over the long-term health effects of consuming growth hormones.

The debate over labeling genetically engineered foods is discussed, with critics fearing that GE salmon will escape and breed with wild populations. The hosts compare the company's claims of fish sterility to the history of the Weimaraner dog breed, noting that "contained" species inevitably find a way to propagate in the wild.
