Just to leave this subject open and unbiased the reason why most consumers are unwilling to eat “cloned” meat is because of what has been done to the meat itself. But what about the meat we eat now? Clearly, their are hormones and other chemicals that are given to the very animal’s that we eat. Obviously, clones are not organic but what about the offspring of that clone? It has been proven through Dolly the Sheep that the clones are capable of reproduction. Finally, above all reasons, what about long term, when mankind itself is stripped the luxury of deciding what to eat. I am sure that if you feed third world countries cloned meat they would eat it hands down. The human population is growing drastically that in time we will hit a point where it will be impossible to breed animals at the pace humans are breeding. My personal opinion, is if you intend to sell cloned meat to the public at least give the consumer numbers and the facts and not just the FDA stamp.

Dolly died early because she was cloned from a 6 year old sheep and so her DNA was as deteriorated as when she was 6. So tchnically, she died at the expected age

“The FDA notes that the food from the clone meats will not require special labeling because they are just as safe to eat as the natural born animals.”…..I’m not surprised from what I’ve learned by researching different articles re: food additives/chemicals/ingredients that are unhealthy but allowed to be used in processed food.

It’s one thing if cloned meat will be sold as long as it is labeled as such so that people can choose what they are buying…..quite upsetting.

I agree, it just does not make any sense to me.

The FDA most obviously do not understand the issue and implications.

Please consider why some cloned animals still come out looking like the were extras in the movie “The Fly”? Researchers still don’t know why that happens. But hell it’s safe, cause you say so.

And please address what happens 10-30 years ago when we are no longer cloning “originals”. When the DNA is diluted.

And last; please address why we need more food? You starving? Or do you in your infinite wisdom think that we are going to export some rib eye to Africa and end hunger? Are we doing this so that farmers can produce more, cheaper and make more money. Not the goal I wanted to risk my kids welfare for.
