'Real, wholesome Atlantic salmon have no “ice structuring proteins.” The GM salmon that FDA is being asked to approve as food do have them. Maybe they are safe. Maybe not. The choice to eat such manipulated food must be your choice, not the FDA’s choice! If approved by the FDA these “Frankenfish” would be able to be sold without a warning to the public that they are GMO and their effect on the human body is not known for certain!'
'To oppose all GMO foods that are not labeled, and to demand the right to know if foods are “GMO Free” (a label the FDA does not currently allow) take action here:' http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
