He promotes natural remedies that have been proven to work, and he doesn't even sell half of the stuff that is promoted on that website. He doesn't try and patent nature like big pharma does, making it illegal to get nutrients from a specific plant-based product from anyone else. Besides, you think he's the only one who sells natural remedies? Many companies do because anyone who knows anything about health knows that nature has all the answers.
Why are conspiracy theorists so dumb?

The purpose of GM salmon is because they grow much faster, thus resulting in more profit. The problem is they have the ability to breed with real salmon, so eventually they will be indistinguishable. Many are also raised on fish farms where tons of chemicals and antibiotics are used. Sounds tasty, huh?

Evolution created genetics that took millions of years to become the organism that they have become. It seems obtuse and arrogant to not give that due respect. Humility means to use caution, to proceed without pride. Generations of testing, long term observations, and utmost value placed upon safety need to occur. I say this is a risk, patience and pragmatism are wise choices.

So? Do you try to grow your cannabis plants faster and larger? Why is that inherently bad?
So? You still haven't addressed why GMO is inherently bad. You are starting with the premise GMO is bad, and anything bad that could potentially happen because of that is also bad. If they are indistinguishable then who cares?
I didn't see that point in the original article at all. Furthermore how is this specific to GMO fish? You seem to have a problem with farm fishing in general which is an entirely different argument.

It's not hidden at all. I hate pseudoscience and bullshit and I will call it out every chance I get. naturalnews is a cesspool of ignorance and misinformation. I have a list of other sites that are known to propagate bullshit and I hate them all.

Humans have fucked with genetics and evolution long before the relatively recent advent of GMO. Why is it ok to selectively breed corn, soy, cannabis, carrots, [insert every plant and animal humans cultivate] for thousands of generations? Because that is natural?

Ahh, hostility...the last refuge of a fool. You should be ashamed of the person you have become. Just lazy and closed off is no way to live. Do your own homework or wait to have facts find you I couldn't care less. You are simple mind and incapable of making a case at all. You have not answered any questions....I am sorry but you lose this time.

Ironic that you aren't providing the study I requested either. You must be in little pharmas pocket just like jtprin
Hybridization and genetically modifying are two different things. http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/topics/technology-and-supply-chain/monsanto-weedkiller-and-gm-maize-in-shocking-cancer-study/232603.article http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/new-study-links-gmo-food-leukemia (PDF inside)

What is inherently bad about GM foods?
For example, taking the frost resistant gene from a plant we eat and putting it into another plant that lacks the ability to resist frost in order to increase the grow season ultimately leading to more food, why would that be bad?
If someone could do that and provide substantial evidence that it will not harm the environment or anything that consumes it in any way, shape, or form, then sure. That's not the case, however. The point of GM foods is so that you can heavily coat them with pesticides like glyphosate and have it not die. The problem is it also because apart of the crop, with no way to wash it off. So you are literally eating pesticides when you consume GM foods. In fact, glyphosate is so deadly that you need to wear a full body suit and protective eye wear while spraying, yet they say it's okay to eat.

What makes you think the regulations in place would knowingly allow essentially poisonous food to make it to supermarkets?
I don't know... maybe the fact that a lot of Monsanto executives also have positions with the U.S. government? Why is aspartame and high fructose corn syrup allowed in foods? They also just raised the amount of glyphosate allowed to be used and it's thousands of times more than the amount that causes cancer. Here's another study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23756170
Monsanto has also been guilty of scientific fraud on multiple occasions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate#Scientific_fraud

I love the wait and see approach.....I suppose poisons help weed out the non beleivers.

I'm not gonna pretend to know, but I've heard it suggested that fluoride calcifies over your pineal gland (minds eye). A conspiracy theorisist (spelled wrong on purpose, spelling Nazi's) might be led to believe that the gub'ment is trying to rob us of our creativity...
