But these Flavr Savr were removed from the shelves in 1997 because they were not economical even though the process was successful(techrepublic). Like tomatoes the salmon industry through technology has not been as successful either.…

Do The Pros of GMO’s outweigh the Cons? Since the introduction on the genetically modified organism in the mid to late 1990’s many people have debated on their economic and environmental impact, as well as their safety for human consumption. Many companies like Monsanto and Dow Agro-science that produce these bioengineered foods have conducted research on the topics of environmental and economic benefits as well as the safety of GMO foods. The results of the studies conclude that genetically modified foods are safe, economically beneficial, environmentally sensible, and have no danger to the people that consume them.…
GMO foods are such an embedded part of our food system these days, but it’s not difficult to think back to a time when food was simpler and healthier. Although GMO 's have a been around for thousands of years, when new discoveries arrived at the tip of our hands in the early 1980s, a conflict over ethics, health, and long-term environmental safety have become the main issue of concern for many. The ongoing debate over genetically modified organisms can get brutal at times, and most often, very confusing due to a lot of misleading information. In overview, a GMO is a plant, animal, or any organism, whose genetic material has been modified or manipulated through a process called genetic engineering. Although many organisms can be genetically…

Recently the FDA approved the sale of the first genetically engineered animal for human consumption. The fish is called AquAdvantage Salmon and it can be marketed as Atlantic salmon.…
