Cloneburger - at a supermarket near you

Have you heard? The FDA recently approved meat and milk from cloned cattle, swine, goats, and their offspring as safe for food.

And the FDA isn’t requiring that cloned products be labeled differently. Consumers will have no way of knowing what’s clone and what’s not (The FDA will consider “clone free” labels on a case-by-case basis. Though anything organic, and thus non clone, can be labeled as such.)

And cloneburgers aren’t actually at a supermarket near you. Yet. Animal-cloning companies say it will be three to five years before U.S. consumers see milk and meat from clones on the shelves.

    Every time I hear news like this, I am glad to be a vegetarian. I’m safe from most foods that way.

    Ok, I’ll bite. Setting aside morality for this paragraph, I think there could be legitimate concerns here about safety...

    the issue here? Why the implicit prejudice against cloned meat? I’m sure...same problems...
