Animal Engineering

The FDA has given the okay for the genetically engineered animals requirements. The FDA has tried to convince the consumer of the benefits of genetically engineered animals. They say fish will grow faster, lessening the overfishing problem, pigs will produce manure that pollutes less, and Cows are now resistant to a certain type of utter disease.
Ummm... this sounds great and all, but isn't a good thing to say away from chemically altered foods. I mean I've always been taught that processed foods and foods with many chemicals in them aren't that great for you to eat. They can cause health problems in the long run. I don't think that sounds too good to me. Besides the health hazards, I just don't like the idea of knowing that my food has been tampered with. It's just not a good feeling, you know? Anyway, hopefully they start marking what has been chemically "enhanced" otherwise I'm going to have to start growing my own food.
Until next time...
