ALL THIS FOOD TASTES EXACTLY THE SAME
Well, if nobody wants a cloned animal as a pet, I guess we’ll have to eat all the clones they’re breeding. The Food and Drug Administration announced last week that they are very close to approving meat and milk from cloned animals, and is currently reviewing plans on how to regulate the products once they are approved. The FDA press release claimed that their studies “show that the meat and milk from cattle clones and their offspring are as safe as that from conventionally bred animals.” Depite protests from consumer groups, surveys carried out by the biotech industry has discovered that most people won’t give a crap as long as the price is right. “We feel like the average consumer is going to accept this technology as we move forward,” said a spokesperson for the Biotechnology Industry Organization. “There will not be a label that will indicate this is anything other than healthy meat and milk.” (AP)
