How do you feel about eating cloned meat and milk?

thebrick · Jan 16, 2008

Now that the FDA has declared animal products that have used cloned livestock as safe (either by direct consumption or by being used in breeding), it appears that meat and milk is on its way to your table. How do you feel about that?

?

This is something that i am kind of skeptical about. Its always deemed safe, no matter what it is.....until there are noticable and serious side effects that arise years later. Its this way with diets drugs, and it looks as if food is headed that way. I'm going to open a clone free grocery.

But the FDA will not require labels that state that the meat came from cloned livestock or its offspring. I have read that in all probability, because of the cost of the meat, obviously you would not eat an actual cloned cow, goat, or whatever, BUT you may eat its offspring or drink its milk. A cow could be cloned because of its exceptionally tender meat, for example, and is bred for that high quality meat. In future, we may see "NOT CLONED" labels on a package just as we see "FREE RANGE" or "ALL ORGANIC" and pay extra for that? Its getting a little weird out there.

We already eating cloned vegetables.

From what I understand there is no test that can even tell the difference. I would eat it without a doubt.

People are always paranoid about what they don't understand.

We've got little girls hitting puberty before they turn 5 these days thanks to the chemicals and hormones in the food.... this'll probably make them grow a third breast and a couple extra arms.

lol, this is one of the reasons I don't worry about gear usage too much.... the world we live in has made us into biological/chemical guinea pigs, so how bad is a bit of extra test going to be on top of all the other shit we're exposed to on a daily basis.

As long as they cloned a tasty animal, i'm all for it.

thebrick · Jan 16, 2008

I was curious... I would eat it it too without a problem, but apparently a lot of people are kinda freaked by it. I think its as was mentioned by Fears, people fear what they don't understand. I am in awe that what used to be science fiction has now become fact.

What if they could clone pork without all the negative issues associated with it etc etc. That would be good.

Ashop · Jan 17, 2008

I feel weird about it but I'm sure Ive already eaten something cloned

I think it is a good idea.

Clone cows with good genes = better chace of good meat

The problem is that there are too many damn people on this earth so we need to resort to stuff like this.

Retriever · Jan 17, 2008

If it means cheaper and higher quality meat, I'm all for it. I don't think there is any difference with normal meat health-wise.

BOOMSHAKER · Jan 18, 2008

If, and this is a big "IF" the animal is the exact same clone as the previous animal then it is basically the same thing you before. And only with thought do I not have a problem with cloning meat or milk.

The real question is how do u feel about eating grain fed beef vs grass fed. I am a huge believer in grass fed beef. Corn is just so unnatural for cows. Their stomachs get so acidic their livers get abscessed and they have to be loaded full of antibiotics from the acid eating away at their stomach and rumen. Cows have a 2nd stomach called a rumen that turns grass into high quality protein...pretty remarkable...anyways - I could go on and on.

I found a farmer via a website called www.eatwild.com - it is an awesome website.....you might also want to read a book called the Omnivore's dilema - a phenomenal book that will let you know what our shitty government is doing to our meat through their retarded as usual actions and subsidy programs...

here is some food for thought - grass fed meat is loaded with CLA - heart healthy anti cancer Omega 6. It also has the right ratio of Omega 3 and 6 - and 50% of the fat is monsaturated. Also the beef is as lean as chicken..perfect food in my opinion..

Ok - enough ranting
