Does anyone in the know have the details of how the FDA plans on letting us (the consumers) be aware that the milk or cheese or whatever is from cloned animals as I just read that on the Yahoo page that FDA approves selling products from cloned animals!!! Help us dear God.

Huhhhh?
My god ! I don't think products coming from these animals should be put on the market ! This is still very experimental... And these animals have lots of problems ! It takes about a 100 trials to produce a viable clone, and most of them are grossly diformed ! We dont know enough about this technology yet.
I do hope that this is not true ?

The FDA has provisionally determined that products from cloned animals are just as safe as similar products from noncloned animals, thus they do not require any special labeling.
Given that a clone is (by definition) a genetic copy of it's progenitor, this makes a lot of sense to me. Now, there may be some differences, there is some evidence to believe that some cellular aging is carring over to clones so they may not live as long, but there is no evidence that it is in any way less safe to (for example) eat beef from a cloned cow than one that has not been.

I sure hope so.
People, say no to products from cloned animals. How does the FDA know that it's safe? How could they possibly have determined that?
It is simply a bad idea. There will be future consequences that we could not possibly predict today. We're just realizing what a bad idea artificial sweetners were, ten years later.
This is like something form a science fiction novel.
It's all very 'House of the Scorpion' to me.

As far as I know, the FDA states that there is no difference between cloned animals and animals that were produced by normal methods (as far as being food goes). As far as labeling, I would think that it should be done, however, I guess that's up to our lawmakers.

It will be years before any cloned animal products make it to our store shelves.
We SHOULD get more information if and when it does.

Good question. Read more about this at the FDA website. Here is the proposed draft:

of direction we would desire to continually be cautioned if the foodstuff we purchase is cloned. we would desire to continually comprehend if the beef had hormones of antibiotics extra as nicely, as those are valid wellness threats to the buyer. regrettably we are actually not even allowed to renowned if our foodstuff is irradiated, because of the fact the corporate interest trumps the traditional public interest. no count if we die from the internal effects of our decadence or from the exterior ones is a valid question. It useful looks like the full human race is being delivered approximately extinction for the sake of non-public greed.
