Warning- Cloned Meat Coming To a Store Near You!




Recently, scientists have cloned animals for consumer consumption, and the Food and Drug Association (FDA), are agreeing that it is safe for us. But are you willing to be the guinea pig generation to eating cloned animals?


Think of just how many unnatural things have been added to a cloned cow, pig, chicken, etc. The FDA also says they're not requiring this type of meat to be labeled. I don't know about you, but I know I would like to know if and when I were eating a cloned animal.

The Wall Street Journal reports that mass animal cloning could lead to breeds that are more susceptible to disease. An extra side of E-coli anyone? "Cloning is a natural extension of the animals," states the FDA. I, like many, don't see any thing natural here at all.

When the FDA was asked why they would not be labeling the cloned meat, they explained that the food safety system in the US is designed to catch meat and milk for hazards, regardless of the where the meat came from.


I am not surprised here, but my question is why spend the money to clone animals just to eat them? It's not like there's a shortage of animals at the slaughter houses. Here CNN reports on this issue.
