FDA Decides Cloned Animals Safe to Eat
friedo writes "After five years of research, the Food and Drug Administration has decided that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat. From the article: 'The government believes meat and milk from cattle, swine and goat clones is as safe to eat as the food we eat every day, said Stephen F. Sundlof, director of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine. Meat and milk from the offspring of clones is also safe, the agency concluded. Officials said they did not have enough information to decide whether food from sheep clones is safe. If food from clones is indistinguishable, FDA doesn't have the authority to require labels, Sundlof said. Companies trying to distance themselves from cloning must be careful with their wording, he added.'"
which is more funny? I dunno...
I can't wait till they can clone meat without that unnecessary nervous system, what will those vegans say then?
Hard to say. I still can't get one to say they're sorry for the painful, premature demise of the countless earthworms that are tilled to death so that vegans can have their Thanksgiving Tofurkey. Won't someone think of the collateral damage to the helpless invertebrates?
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Deja Moo?
The feeling you've eaten this steak before.
"Kittens give Morbo gas!"
Especially because earthworms have ten hearts each. It's like killing ten beings per worm, those dirty vegan scum.
While I don't disagree, just thinking about that really worries me. And now it will be in the back of my mind as I read posts, worrying me even more in many cases.
By 2008, you'll have 3 kinds of beef:
1. Certified cloned beef
2. Certified non-cloned beef
3. no-label beef - like a hot dog, you don't know what's in it.
Most people won't care but some people will pay extra to get that mmm-good taste of non-cloned beef and others will pay extra-extra to get that mmm-mmm-good-good taste only cloning provides.
Even if category #1 doesn't show up on supermarket shelves, the "green" beefeaters who fear clones will create a market for category #2.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
whch is mor funny? # dunno..
