Bill Would Require Labels on Cloned Food

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-tastes-exactly-the-same dept.

ComeBack writes "Steaks, pork chops, milk and other products from cloned livestock would have to be clearly labeled on grocers' shelves under a bill pending in the California Legislature. If passed, the requirement could be more stringent than federal rules. The Food and Drug Administration is poised to give final approval to meat and milk from cloned animals without any special labeling, though a bill introduced in Congress would require it."

    ... and will please the animal-cruelty protestors.

    Untill they figure out that we're not only killing the animals, we're killing them over & over again.
