If you ever needed a reason to go vegan…
Here’s one. I however, cannot give up cheese.
Three years after the Food and Drug Administration first hinted that it might permit the sale of milk and meat from cloned animals, prompting public reactions that ranged from curiosity to disgust, the agency is poised to endorse marketing of the mass-produced animals for public consumption.
The decision, expected by the end of this year, is based largely on new data indicating that milk and meat from cloned livestock and their offspring pose no unique risks to consumers.
Just because you can, does it mean you should? Sixty percent of the public doesn’t want cloned meat and dairy on the market. I don’t want cloned meat or cloned milk. I also don’t want my food irradiated, either. Whatever happened to REAL FOOD?
This just makes me want to go live out in the country somewhere and raise my own food. So long as I had WiFi, of course. If I only knew how to farm….

I find it surprising that cloning animals for meat and cheese coule possibly be cheaper than just raising animals from birth? Are they just doing it to prove a point?
It makes my stomach turn, thinking about it.
