The problem is that the same with genetically 'advanced' sweet corn..
It interferes with real life.

I love this "white and gold" variety of 14 inch ears of what tastes like
sugar cereal as much as the next guy - but hey give me my blue black and
heritage corn too without crapping it with these crazy genes.

WOW~!

Talk about trolling? HAR!

Salmon eggs - I hate using live bait but.. Embryonic research?

Thanks guys - that was a hilarious thread.

Yes, porgies. Fluke are deep sea, which I only do once in a while.
I don't own a boat yet, so I don't get out on the open seas so much,
and do all my fishing from shore.

We get football tunas in late summer.. I'd love to go fishing for bluefin,
but that's big $$$.

Lots of sushi places sell wild salmon here in Vancouver, and I mean lots.
The farming industry likes to keep the no-wild-salmon myth alive, that's
what my itamae says.
