FDA says food from cloned animals is safe

[Laura's Babies]

I don't see where it would be any different from other meat but I am wondering why they even have to clone for it.. What ever happened to the old fashioned, natural way and what is the reason for doing it? I have learned that we can not trust the FDA so to me, that is like anyone else having a opinion and carries no weight with me.

Man made means un-natural and to me that means PROBLEMS.. If given the choice, I will buy meat grown the natural way until it is proven by time to be safe. Remember, tampering with Mother Nature is not a good thing!

If we didn't "tamper" with Mother Nature our corn cobs would be the size of Chinese baby corn.

I don't think cloning is intended to be used directly for food animals. Cloning is intended to produce first-rate milk cows, for example; or prize bulls to preserve a superior gene line. But, I think they need to be careful to preserve genetic diversity in the herds.

I agree that folks ought to have a choice whether or not to consume food from a cloned gene line, just as GM veggies and irradiated food ought to be labeled.

I agree 100%. They only do this because they CAN. It must be good for
the companies selling cloned meat. (Read , it will cost consumers more to
buy it)

They come up with "new improved laundry detergents", so why not
"new improved food"?

We've been tampering with mother nature since the first tribe figured out agriculture. There's almost nothing on your table or in the grocery store that man hasn't "tampered" with, as we have been selecting for various traits in food crops for ages. The only difference between that and what we're doing now is that it doesn't take hundreds of generations to get to the desired end state.

My concern is, clonning does not produce an exact duplicate of the original, there are differences. So therefore, what happens when they begin clonning the clones?? they will be getting substandard, each time. So what will they eventually be feeding us?? crap!

Also, if they are feeding us Clones, what happens to the prices?? Clonning isnt exactly cheap!!

Seems like a waste of money to me!! I say stick to the old fashioned ways of producing meat animals!
