    I'll Be Back - Genetically Modified Terminator Trout Have 20% More Muscle

    Just think of the possibilities when these bad boys escape the fish farm.

    Terry Bradley, an aquaculture professor at the University of Rhode Island, has been researching how to counteract the effects of a protein called myostatin, which slows muscle growth. At last he's discovered how to block the production of myostatin in fish, resulting in this bulbous creature you see in the video above. Bradley's transgenic trout tend to grow 15-20% more muscle than average trout.

    That is so horrific, genetic engineering on trout to replace salmon/seafood? Talk about a nut job! Six pack abs on trout. WOW!

    Just what the world needs.... As if we don't have enough problems with cancer and other weird diseases, this guy wants us to eat even more genectically engineered food. It is about time go organic....
