ActionAlert:GE Fish Moratorium Up

For Vote 7/11/01

 

 

 

 

 

True Food Network

 

Action Alert

 

02 July 2001

 

 

 

Stop GE Fish!

 

Ask Your Representative To Vote

 

Yes on Kuchinich/Defazio!

 

 

 

On July 11th, the US House of Representatives is

 

scheduled to vote on an amendment to the Agriculture

 

Appropriations Bill that calls for a one-year

 

moratorium on genetically engineered (GE) Fish.

 

 

 

The FDA is now reviewing an application for the

 

first gene altered fish, a fast-growing salmon.

 

But there are no federal laws that specifically

 

govern the regulation of GE fish.

 

 

 

The FDA is treating this GE salmon as a new animal

 

drug rather than a food product. A fish is a complete

 

organism, not a drug, and should not be approved on

 

this narrow, unscientific basis.

 

 

 

Tell your Representative to help protect endangered

 

wild salmon and American consumers from the risks

 

of GE salmon.
