I call it a stupid monstrosity, THEY call it the enviro pig!

Enviropig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UNREAL!

They haven't even TASTED this! They CLAIM they tested the protein, etc... and it is exactly like a yorkshire pig. THAT shows the STUPID testing! If it were true, there would be no difference, and no reason to do all this. If the DNA was changed, the meat IS different. MAYBE not noticeably, but MAYBE in a way that could be DEADLY, like the tryptophan scare! THAT looked like tryptophan ALSO, but a gas chromatograph PROVED it wasn't. And THAT was FATAL!

Steve, in a way, I am not as concerned about this as the genetically engineered salmon. Because it is much more reversible than the salmon should the need arise. For one, there is no wild population for the enviropig to reproduce with, and it is much more easier to trace each animal than the salmon.

The big problem about genetically engineered food is that you don't really know the full effect until years later. But by then, there are too many confounding factors that you won't know anyway.

  There are no plans to send those pigs to market - at least not these original ones.
  
  The little ones are cute, though.
  
  Thanks

  I was going to guess it was a hot dog before I saw your answer.

  You KNOW they have to be planning on marketing them because they are spending so much, growing so many, and they say they are.

Well, one thing's for sure...

I don't call them kosher.

So hey, no skin off my nose. Go ahead, make weird hybrid freak pigs for all the goyim to eat.
