FDA claims that farm raised salmon eggs are being genitically mated with those of ocean carp which reproduce with great vigor to make the slamon mimic this reproductive trait. The benefits are obvious, but what about the risks?

There are claims that GM (genetically modified) foods are suspect to being foreign to the human body’s metabolism function, and therefore may not be safe. Testing continues, however the FDA recently stated that suppliers are not required to disclose if GM has been used in the development of any given consumable.

Additional concerns are that GM salmon could escape to local waters and litteraly infect/contaminate the entire species. Corn is especially suspect of large scale GM.

Is man made disaster looming here??

So, he's decided that isolation may be the cure to breaking his addiction. He's locked himself in his bathroom for 5 days in hopes that this strategy will be the magic bullet that saves his digital dilemma.
