we have seen initiatives requiring the labelling of g.m.o. food labelling go down. in a lessoning and lessoning margin of victory, but they have been defeated. people are concerned. there may be a growing concern. there hasn't been a demand that these things be labelled. in the case of the fish, the frankenfish, the f.d.a. is not requiring that the company label them any specific way, but they are sending out guidelines saying it can be done voluntarily, if the company wants to do it or if they are franchised out, and they are the ones bringing them to market. could voluntarily thable them as such, and there are guidelines. there'll be a public comment taken by the f.d.a., and you can bet a lot of anti-g.m.o. folks will get in touch with them and voice their opinions >>> coming up. commercial fishermen in california say franken fish could escape their cage and breed. others disagree. i dive ahead into that debate next. >>> talking tonight about genetically engineered food, including what critical frankenfish, the genetically engineered salmon that the u.s. food and
