Would you eat cloned meat - if you knew it was cloned?

Question

Now the FDA has OK'ed the sale of cloned beef, pork, chicken and other animals to supermarkets and restaurants, how popular do you think it will be? Do you think the FDA should require this meat to be labelled or advertised as coming from a clone?

Answer 1

No I would not eat it, and yes FDA should require this meat to be labeled.

Answer 2

To find out who is behind the movement to legalize cloned meat, all that needs to be done is follow the money trail.

The FDA's draft risk assessment relies heavily on the work of animal-cloning companies Cyagra and ViaGen. More than a quarter of the 700-page draft consists of data from these two companies.

While on the surface the draft addresses some public safety issues, commercial interests largely inform the substance of the draft.

Polls have shown that the majority of the public does not want cloned meat, and certainly wants it to be labeled if it is available. The FDA has stated that it cannot require labeling.

The FDA's recent approval of cloned meat and milk for sale in America's grocery stores after more than three years had a great deal to do with the agency relying far too much on companies that will profit from the move, such as ViaGen and Cyagra.

Additionally to the more than 170 pages of the draft supplied directly by the companies, the work of a pair of scientists either currently or formerly employed by Cyagra was cited liberally throughout it.

And, of course, the government and conventional science will justify cloning animals for all the very debatable good it can do to rid the world of hunger or to discover new and often unnecessary and useless toxic drugs.

However noble these objectives may sound, Americans certainly aren't fooled by the tainting of our food supply with cloned meats. More reason than ever for you to seek out local sources for your vegetables and meats.

Answer 3

The FDA should definitely be required to label the meat as cloned. Just the thought of it gags me, but it's strictly psychological.

Answer 4

What's the big deal as long as its taste good and does not cuase cancer and make you fat I'll eat it. Stop worrying so much it will stress you out trying to figure out why the FDA dose these things they just want to make money and if its chaeper than the real thing they are going to promote it to fatten there pockets, I hope i helped you look at it on a lighter note.

Answer 5

no i does no longer. It merely doesn't look accurate. i imagine human cloning is faulty too. each living creature is unique, and it become made that way for a reason. Why mess with nature?

Answer 6

I don't think I would. There is just something about the whole "clone" idea that is too wierd.

Answer 7

i wouldnt care if it was cloned or not, as long as the meat has no ingrediants that cause physical internal or external damage

Answer 8

I will wait a while like 20 years.

Answer 9

yes, stop worrying
people wont like it due to bad media, but i trust the science

Answer 10

i would not only eat it i would eat its clone
