Sunny weather is expected from the mid-Atlantic to the central Gulf Coast, although many spots will be somewhat cooler than Thursday. Spotty thunderstorms will develop again across South Florida, but much of the day will be dry. A storm system tracking eastward into the central Plains will bring a plowable snowfall to southern South Dakota and portions of Iowa. Snow will come to an end across the northern Rockies.

Before long, it may well be genetically modi- fied salmon, the first such altered animal cleared for human consumption in the United States. Critics call it "franken- fish," but the Food and Drug Administration granted its approval on Thursday, saying the faster-grow- ing salmon is safe to eat. It could be available within a couple of years. "There are no biologi- cally relevant differences in the nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon," the agency said. The Obama administra- tion had stalled in approv- ingthesalmonformorethan five years amid consumer concerns about genetically modified foods. The fish grows twice as fast as nor- mal salmon, so it reaches market size more quickly. AquAdvantage Salmon is engineered by the Mas- sachusetts-based company AquaBounty. Ron Stotish, the company's CEO, said in a statement that the fish is a "game changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environ- mentallyresponsiblemanner withoutdamagingtheocean and other marine habitats." AquaBounty said the fish could be on grocery store shelves in about two years, which is how long it takes the salmon to grow. Once the salmon reach stores, consumers may not know they are eating them. Because there are no ma- terial differences between an engineered and a nor- mal salmon, the FDA says the law does not require the fish to be labeled as engi- neered. AquaBounty says that genetically modified salmon have the same fla- vor, texture, color and odor as the conventional fish. The FDA released sepa- rate wording that would set guidelines for retailers who do want to label the fish. And some retailers have said they won't sell it at all — spokespeople for Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Target and Kroger have all said they are not planning to sell AquAdvantage Salmon. Critics have pressured re- tailers to reject the salmon, which they have labeled "Frankenfish." They worry it could cause human al- lergies and the eventual decimation of the natural salmon population if it es- capes into the wild. "There's no place on our dinner plates for genetically engineered fish," said Lisa Archer of the environmen- tal advocacy group Friends of the Earth. "We will con- tinue to work to ensure the market, from grocery retail- ers to restaurants, contin- ues to listen to the major- ity of consumers that don't want to eat this poorly stud- ied, unlabeled genetically engineered fish."
