Day 77/365:Monday-Genetically Modified Salmon??

I saw this today and it disturbed me a bit.  For years we have seen Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) on the shelves in the market.

Personally, I avoid eating them.  I like to eat food that is unprocessed and unadulterated.  What is more adulterated than GMO foods??  There is a reason food grows the way it does, please don't mess with it.

All I have seen in grocery stores is GMO food that comes from the plant kingdom. Today though, it was brought to my attention that the FDA is seriously considering the acceptance of GMO salmon.  Salmon??  That is an animal!  

Does this freak anyone else out?  The food coloring they add to farm raised salmon is bad enough, but to go and mess with genes so that they can create a salmon that is twice as big?  I think I'll pass.

Here is the article that was seen in the New York Times.
