Genetically Modified ANIMALS for Food

You’re never going to believe this (here’s the article).

You know how genetic engineers can take recombinant DNA of one plant, and splice it into another, and give us GMO corn?

And, weirder still, they can even put fish genes into our corn (and do!!).

Now there are hopes among some to have GMAs — Genetically Modified Animals. I have seen animals that are made to glow under a UV lamp, animals with multiple heads or eyes.

All things seem to be possible with a little DNA here or there.

The FDA claims that GE animals include food-use animals with new traits such as improved nutrition, faster growth or lower emission levels of environmentally harmful substances such as phosphate in their manure.

In September, the FDA released draft guidelines on the regulation of Genetically Altered animals in the marketplace. As of now, the agency is seeking public comments on the guidance until the 18 of November.
