...news has caused consternation in Europe, where GM food has become a particularly hot issue, with environmentalists concerned about the modified fish's potential impact on wildlife. They say that although the experimental fish are bred to be sterile, one mistake - one fish that escapes - could ruin wild populations. The GM fish are known to have a lower egg-survival rate, weaker muscle structure and poorer swimming performance than normal salmon.

...avoid being sued: no one gets food poisoning from overcooked meals. And I'm not sure I would fully trust rare meat in such a situation of mass handling anyway. But the next time, dear reader, you find yourself in a quality restaurant, try ordering rare. Or order fish cheeks, if you can--possibly the best-tasting part of the fish.
