Strawberries cross-bred with FISH DNA??

[Green_Woman]

A friend was telling me recently that most strawberries, including organic, are now bred with fish DNA....?

Does anyone have info on this?

I read the top of that article- not going any further.







If they can go fish to fruit, why haven't they gone tiger to human?

Right.

Hi I usually do not read alarming posts. Not beneficial to my well being. I decided to see this one.

Here is what I found out in my brief scan over it.


How would this completely fictional story come to be repeated so widely? We suspect that scientists like to use the hypothetical example to illustrate both the universality of the genetic code and the "gee whiz" potential of genetic engineering to solve important agricultural issues. On the other hand, anti-GMO activists emphasize the story because, well, strawberries with fish genes sound much yuckier and scarier than a real genetically engineered crop, like corn that produces the same protein used by organic farmers. Nonetheless, despite the widespread circulation of the tale, strawberries with fish genes are an urban legend and have never existed outside the minds of enthusiastic researchers and alarmed activists.

So we press on and do the best we can with what we have.
