Another take on eating cloned animals
Categories: Reviews & Products, Nutrition & Supplements
Bethany talked about the decision this week to allow proponents of animal cloning to vouch for food safety of cloned animals, so I started reading into the details.I'm not sure how to feel about this, but since I don't eat a heckuva lot of meat, it won't affect me in a huge way -- but I am in the minority.Are there more ethical implications here -- or more implications that nobody has thought of yet? Just this past Thursday, the FDA issued a draft rule that found that meat from cloned cattle, pigs, and goats was as safe to eat as any other meat.
I'm not sure I agree with that statement since we are so close to just the beginning of he way cloning will infiltrate our daily lives. "FDA is essentially giving a couple of cloning companies a Christmas present at the expense of consumers and the dairy industry," said Joe Mendelson, legal director at the Center for Food Safety. At this point, I think I agree with him.
