Frankenfish for dinner?

"What's for dinner Honey?"

"How about cedar plank Franken-salmon?"

"What is that?"

"That is a genetically modified salmon."

"Does it have 2 heads?"

"Not yet...the fish is genetically engineered so that it grows at twice the normal speed. It produces a lot of growth hormones so it may really help to make the cancer cells spread faster. And...and of course they are farmed in a cozy crowed area. Full of good antibiotics. Maybe there will be new type of disease coming out of this. Isn't that cool?"

"But I really liked the wild salmon you made last week..."

"No. Can't have that anymore. The Frankenfish will be taking all the food. The regular fish won't stand a chance. Frankenfish will also likely to eat the weaklings. So soon we will only have Frankenfish. Who knows, maybe it will eat us too."
