Yes. Why not?
You've been eating cloned plants forever.
Cloned means genetically identical to their parents. Would you eat the parents?

Eating cloned meat is a matter of whether you support cloning, not if it's healthy. The deviations required to make a clone unsafe would be the same for any other animal of it's species. A clone is like a person stealing a coat. What they did wasn't nice, but it doesn't make them a murderer.

Cloned meat would probably be much more safe than "harvested". No mad cow disease...
Yes, I would eat cloned meat and the FDA is not concerned with our safety, they are concerned that the meat packers union will be upset that the price of meat will drop because cloning would make meat production cheaper and easier.

In general I think if we start to clone animals we would be getting a healthier food source and the public would be healthier in return. I mean we have been messing with plants for a while and there is nothing wrong yet.

No, i would not voluntarily eat cloned meat, you don't know how is that going to affect us in the long run. But i dont think we would be told what we are eating.

Sure, if it's as cheap as other meat. Beef from a "cloned" steer is still beef. It's meat. Good in burgers.

I had a great steak the other night, the best I ever had, If befor I ate it, they cloned that beast and there was another animal that tasted just like that one, I'd be all over that!

I can't see where the meat would be any different from the meat produced by the other Frankenstein methods we use on cattle these days to produce "quality" beef (in fact, it might actually be safer than the others), so my answer is sure, I would.

sure, there is no difference between clone meat and the other kind.

I don't eat normal meat...
however,
I can't see how it's any different than regular meat.
It's not like the animal is chemically changed... it's just an identical match of the parent.
It is a "normal" animal in every way.
