Why the case for GM salmon is still hard to stomach \| Robin McKie	27.8.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
Proponents of GM promise bigger cuts of meat, more efficient farming and animals less prone to disease, but is it an unnecessary abuse of nature? • GM salmon may go on sale in US after public consultation The bid by the US Federal Drug Administration to approve the first genetically modified animal – a modified salmon – for human consumption will certainly not be an isolated addition to our cuisine. A host of domestic animals, including several other species of fish, have also been genetically altered by scientists – mostly to improve growth rates – and will be considered for approval for sale to the public in the near future. Thus the GM salmon is a mere starter in the culinary revolution with other seafood examples being provided by ...

Genetic engineering: full speed ahead. read more

'Frankenfish' May Go on Sale in US After Public Consultation	26.8.2010	Common Dreams: Headlines
by Chris McGreal US authorities today began the process to approve the first GM animal for human consumption. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a 60-day period of consultation and public meetings over whether to permit a GM strain of salmon to be eaten by humans, even though it has been called a "frankenfish" by critics. The approval process could take less than a year, and if it gets the green light the fish could be on the market in 18 months. read more

GM salmon may go on sale in US after public consultation	26.8.2010	Guardian: Science
Food and Drug administration begins 60-day process to approve animal critics call a 'frankenfish' US authorities today began the process to approve the first GM animal for human consumption. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a 60-day period of consultation and public meetings over whether to permit a GM strain of salmon to be eaten by humans, even though it has been called a "frankenfish" by critics. The approval process could take less than a year, and if it gets the green light the fish could be on the market in 18 months. Environmentalists and scientists see the decision as marking a threshold. If it is approved it is likely to open the door to a large range of GM animals being raised for consumption. If not, scientists ...

A Month Without Monsanto	25.8.2010	Commondreams.org Views
by April Dávila In January of this year, while procrastinating on Facebook, I followed a link to an article reporting on the negative health effects related to consuming Monsanto's genetically modified corn. Clicking on that link was one of those moments on which I look back and laugh. I had no idea how my life was about to change. read more

The FDA needs egging on \| Henry Miller	24.8.2010	Guardian: Environment
If we had a sensible and safe policy that permitted more genetic engineering in farming, this egg recall might have been avoided The FDA has initiated a recall of half a billion eggs , the most extensive in history, because of salmonella contamination that has already sickened 1,300. The head of the agency, Margaret Hamburg, said in interviews that regulators "need additional resources, we need additional authority [and] greater ability to trace back products to their source so that we can identify how the contamination occurred and what products are at risk." A plea for more power and resources is bureaucrats' typical response to any crisis, but ironically, unwise FDA policies place obstacles in the way of technology to enhance disease ...

French activists uproot GM vines at research centre	24.8.2010	Guardian: Environment
Ministers condemn 'wanton destruction' in raid against government-authorised trials into genetically modified crop For the second time in less than a year, genetically modified vines being tested by the French National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA) in its Colmar centre in eastern France have been uprooted and destroyed. Now that France no longer grows or tests GM corn, which used to be a regular summer target of the Faucheurs Volontaires (voluntary reapers) movement, attention has turned to the vines. This month Faucheurs destroyed transgenic vines being tested for protection against court-noué, the fanleaf virus transmitted by earthworms. In September 2009 a single activist had cut down 70 vines at the same site. At dawn on ...
