FDA News

CNN story

I was so shocked to hear this! It's so interesting too that the FDA director says that if the cloned food is indistinguishable from the uncloned food, they can't require labels. Obviously, people will label their food as coming from uncloned sources, just like when rBHT started being used.

How do y'all feel about this issue? Do you care?

It's been coming and already it's here. How nice of them to do it during the hectic Holiday season when no one was looking.
Yes....we do care. Sad thing is if anyone eats conventional beef...most likely they've already consumed a clone.
Some ranchers already admit to having submitted cloned cattle into the food chain.
I find it interesting that the big "Guardians" of food safety push to declare cloned meat safe but yet declare raw unpasteurized milk unsafe for human consumption. Amazing.
We haven't purchased conventional beef or meats for sometime now. We will continue to support the local farms that support sustainable agriculture and continue to produce REAL food.

This just makes me even more determined to know the source of my food. I currently eat locally raised, grass-fed beef and pork. While it is more expensive, I am reassured that they are not fed pesticides or hormones, and that they have not been cloned.

i do not want to eat cloned meat or any thing else that is cloned. by the govmt not making it necessary to differentiate the cloned from the not cloned is a violation of human rights. we already are in danger from all the processed foods that we eat now. we do not know what goes on with the cloning process and we will probably never know all the steps that take place. we will be forced to eat this stuff if a companies are not made to label this food. i do not want my children eating this mess either. i am not in the habit of putting things into my body without knowing what it will do to me in the future. this is ridiculous that someone would create such a thing. we should definitely have a choice.

This is scary. If cloned foods are slipped into the general food supply, how would we be able to identify if there WERE issues or problems? No one would be able to report whether they ate cloned meats or not unless of courze they ate no meat at all. Very bad idea.
