...And the Cloned Cow Jumped Over The Moon

Are you prepared to dig into a slab of steak without your knowledge or consent to the fact that it could possibly be a cloned cow? Well, according to the Food and Drug Administration, it probably is. And without any concern for consumers for that matter.

"We found nothing in the food that could potentially be hazardous. The food in every respect is indistinguishable from food from any other animal," FDA food safety chief Dr. Stephen Sundlof said. "It is beyond our imagination to even find a theory that would cause the food to be unsafe."

Never mind that Dolly the sheep, the first successful cloned animal, had to be euthanized short of a normal lifespan due to lung disease.
Not to mention, attemps in cloning livestock still end in fatal birth defects.

Producers still have the option to buy cloned or not. Problem is, labels do not have to reveal which animal is cloned by the Food and Drug Administration.

But it will be hard to tell which foods do contain ingredients originating from cloned animals. The Food and Drug Administration ruled that labels won't have to reveal whether the food comes from cloned cows, pigs or goats, or the clones' offspring, because those ingredients are no different than meat or milk from livestock bred the old-fashioned way.

I'd say there are some real concerns why I feel pretty darn uncomfortable at the thought of taking a bite out of what could very possibly be a cloned cow. Maybe I should consider becoming a vegan. But then what about the soil vegetables are grown in?? O'woe is me.....whats an American to do......?
