For dinner: Genetically altered 'super chicken'
WASHINGTON (AP) - Super Chicken strutted a step closer to the dinner table Thursday. The government said it will start considering proposals to sell genetically engineered animals as food, a move that could lead to faster-growing fish, cattle that can resist mad cow disease or perhaps heart-healthier eggs laid by a new breed of chickens.
The rules will also apply to drugs and other medical materials from genetically engineered animals, a field with explosive potential. U.S. supermarkets currently sell no meat from genetically engineered animals. But a Boston-area company called Aqua Bounty Technologies hopes to win approval next year for its faster-growing salmon and make the fish available by 2011. "It tastes just like any other farm-raised salmon," said vice chairman Elliot Entis, who has sampled it. http://apnews.excite.com/article/200...D939BBS00.html What would happen if a genetically engineered animal escaped and started reproducing with wild animals of the same species? asked Jaffe. The FDA said it would address that issue. make me wonder what will happen over time when we all start eating these products .and the chemicals get into are system. will they affect the human race ? so by the time your 5 years old your already going though puberty ? these may seem far reaching questions .but look they seem to find out about every thing we eat is bad for you one way or another .so im asking these questions.

if they're genetically engineering these beasts, why not make them sterile?
