In October Eric Hoffman from Friends of the Earth US took to the road for a week in Atlantic Canada to discuss the risks of genetically engineered fish.
Eric began his tour on Prince Edward Island, Canada, home to a facility that will create genetically engineered Atlantic salmon eggs to be raised into food for the US public. This would be the first-ever genetically engineered animal to be approved for human consumption and could open the floodgate to other genetically engineered animals, such as trout, tilapia, cows, pigs, and even chickens.
