At least label salmon if genetically engineered: #tellusatoday

We asked followers about the Food and Drug Administration’s decision that genetically engineered salmon is safe to eat. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

If you do not like it, do not eat it. Simple.

Genetic engineering makes more protein, and reduces the cost of production and environmental impact.

If it is labeled, that is fine. Give consumers the choice.

It’s a travesty. Eat “wild caught” salmon only.

It’s not any healthier or kinder to eat genetically engineered salmon than other fish.
