October 21, 2010

Analysis of:FDA refuses to require labeling of genetically modified salmon | info-wars.org

Salmon as a GMO, how does one decide if it is safe to eat, safe for the environment and safe for other salmon. We could listen to the manufacturer, but really they are trying to sell the fish, and much more. How about the FDA, even they retuse to rule on this.

Worldwide Sustainable Seafood, Is It An Oxymoron

September 7, 2010

Analysis of:Seafood News Environment & Sustainability | www.seafoodsource.com

We see MSC, GAP, WWF, GAA, ASC, NOP, and the list goes on. These are but a few of the certifiers that the industry relies on to get their sustainable message out. How does the Seafood Industry forge ahead with public credibility when the industry cannot come to an agreement on what is sustainable and who, whom or what should be the best group to do so. Not just in the USA but worldwide. I think the Seafood Industry needs a clear, concise and credible voice to the public.
