Looking at meat differently…
Posted by dalieu

I was watching the news this morning, and I heard about an interesting topic. How does everyone feel about eating meat from cloned animals? Currently, the FDA is studying the meat from clone animals and stating that it is as safe as regular meat. They said that it is possible that some places may already be selling cloned meat because there is no law against it. The FDA also stated that it may not be possible to differential between “real” meat and cloned meat, so there may be no way to mark the cloned meat. I dunno, all I can say is now I’m going to start looking at the meat I’m about to eat a little differently and ask myself, “was this cloned?”

The reason for cloned meat: “eager to use clones to vastly cut the cost of food production”

I found this site very informative because it’s from one of the companies that clones meat:
