 NEW YORK — A new “super salmon” is expected to be approved for sale in the US within the next few weeks, reigniting a heated debate over genetically-modified food. The salmon would be the first GM animal ever approved for human consumption, and has been under development in Massachusetts for 18 years. It is expected to be cleared for sale soon by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and now American supermarkets are coming under increasing pressure to refuse to stock the fish. |

Way to go guys.
There is no way we can keep these mutants out of our real salmon runs. Goodbye salmon, hello frankenfish.
WHY DO PEOPLE BUY THIS CRAP?

Either un labeled or hidden/obscure/unclear.
There are no laws regarding the labels.

Capitalism...
Examples from around the world show that when genetically engineered food is labeled, people vote with their wallets and boycott food containing genetically engineered ingredients. The industry has lobbied hard to prevent labeling in the US, spending $6 million to defeat a citizens labeling initiative in Oregon.
Countries around the world with labeling of GM ingredients include Australia and New Zealand, Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, all 15 countries of the EU, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand.

Because they cant afford the real salmon. Wether its GM or natural, a salmon is still a salmon.
With evermore global pressures on natural foods and its production - we really do need to get used to the idea of GM foods being much more mainstream in the future.
