Enviropig: Genetically Modified Pigs Approved to Benefit Agribusiness
Continuing in lockstep with the desires of Agribusiness, a genetically engineered pig has been approved by Health Canada and is under consideration by the US’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dubbed Enviropig™ by its developer, the University of Guelph, it’s designed to reduce phosphorus output in feces.
These genetically modified (GM) pigs have been designed to serve the needs of the factory farming abomination. Because factory farmed pigs are fed an unnatural diet heavy in grains, their feces contain massive amounts of phosphorus, which promotes algae blooms, which deplete oxygen in water, which results in massive dead zones in rivers, lakes, and oceans, and creates cyanotoxins, which can kill livestock, pets, and wildlife.
Agribusiness feeds grain to pigs and other animals grown for food because it’s cheap and results in fast growth. Pigs cannot readily digest grains, so they’re fed the enzyme phytase, which allows their digestive systems to break phosphorus down. However, the majority of it ends up in their waste. The GM pigs produce phytase in their salivary glands, so it travels through the entire digestive tract, breaking the phosphorus down so that more of it is absorbed into the pig’s metabolism, rather than being excreted.
Genes from a mouse and the e. coli bacterium are spliced into the pig’s genetic structure to create the Enviropig for the benefit of Agribusiness, It’s being sold with the claim that they will benefit the environment. This is the typical corporate approach to modern problems: Rather than try to resolve the root of the problem, a patch is used to hide it.
The problem is factory farming. The solution is an end to this inhumane, environmentally destructive, and health destroying practice, not technological bandaids that prolong and worsen the agony.
Health Risks
So, what happens to the phosphorus that no longer ends up in pig poop? It ends up in pig meat, of course—and if you eat that meat, it ends up in you. While phosphorous is a necessary nutrient, it is a poison when taken in excess. The classic condition caused by excess phosphorous is phossy jaw, the destruction of the jaw bone, which is a symptom of a deranged metabolism and systemic osteoporosis.
So, all that excess phosphorous ends up in people instead of pig poop.
Of course, excess phosphorus is only the predictable health risk. As always with genetic engineering, the full range of effects is unknown. GM foods have already been documented to cause harm in animals, including
