Reporting on scientific topics is bad enough
Advertisements [?]
without titling a story with a woo term.."Frankenfish" was the title of a story this morning about genetically modified salmon that will grow to adult hood in half the time of normal salmon. Pretty harmless in my opinion but they had to mention how some people think that the FISH MIGHT POISON PEOPLE. Because you know, fish are more sensitive to toxins in the environment. But it fails to mention how these GM fish would be more toxic..:grr: Me, I think a fish that grows faster will probably have lower level of toxins in its system because its time more than size that cause a build up. No wonder people think all GM is evil with shitty reporting like this...:banghead:
