POLL: Would you eat meat from cloned animals?

Question

The FDA approved meat from cloned animals safe to be eaten, but did not label the food as clones. Not everyone is okay with this decision. I have 2 questions regarding this:

1. Would you eat meat from cloned animals?
2. Do you want the FDA to label the food that comes from clones?

Please make sure you say "Yes" or "No" for each question. Thank you.

Answer 1

absolutely not. Many say that eating cloned meat will not make a difference because " a clone is an exact copy." But, technically this is not true. Cloned animals have a tendency to die much more quickly from rarer diseases than "naturally created" animals. The unanswered question is WHY?

Also, the result of a birth from two cloned animals is unknown. By approving of cloned animals, this is an inevitable situation. I am sorry, call me crazy, but for some reason I am sure there are long term repercussions of intermixing cloned DNA over generations.

Meat is already contaminated with hormones and other chemicals, as well as radiation (in order to keep the chances of e coli down) Our food supply is already to the point where food is categorized as "food" or 'organic food." And no one sees this as a problem. 50 years ago all food was organic. It scares me to think what our food supply is going to be like in another 50 years.

The FDA should definatly lable this type of meat, as well as keep track of each and every cloned animial sold at autcion and slaughered for public consumtion.

Answer 2

No. no longer something to do w/ morals. I have no could desire to bypass that a procedures, there is numerous humanely raised farm animals the place I stay that i'm able to consume. in my view, I in basic terms consume meat that's from as close by a source and as humanely dealt with as obtainable. If i'm no longer able to locate close by meats, i will consume vegetarian instead. If a million/2 the attempt went into preparing ravenous international locations to offer close by, humanely fed and raised animals and convey as is going into lab grown "meat" we would not have lots of the subject concerns feeding human beings as we do on the instant.

Answer 3

1. Absolutely! Cloned animals have should be granted the opportunity to be as delicious as non-cloned animals.

2. Yes, but only because the cloned products might be cheaper, which will save many consumers money.

Answer 4

I would not eat this type of meat because they would have special hormones that may cause potential problems with your health in the future. I know with any food you eat that you have this chance, but I just think it may be worse on your health. I would like the FDA to tell us, but if the FDA lets us eat flies in our ketchup, then they are not going to tell us about this!!!! I just would really like to know where you people come up with this stuff.. the sad thing is I'm now all concerned about it!! THANKS!! JK :)

Answer 5

1-Yes, why not. If it is cloned it is the same as the original animal that it was made from.
2-Who cares if they label it or not.

Answer 6

1. Not if I was aware of it.
2. Absolutely yes, it should be labelled
All genetically modified food should have a label so we can make a choice.

Answer 7

1. No-- I would not eat ANY meat. But even were I an omnivore, I would not eat cloned meat

2. Yes--- and GMO's as well

Then again, maybe its all part of God's master plan to cleanse the planet of the people who will eat anything, at any environmental cost, just to satisfy their tongues---

Answer 8

1. NO
2. YES. i want to know if its cloned or not, and i dont want to eat it if it is.
and no im not a freaky vegatiran.....and yes i love meat, steak, hamburgers, ummmmm bacon, lamb, turkey, chicken, sheep....i love it all, but i dont believe in cloned animals. not sure we kno what thats going to do to us....and its way against god....nope not gonna eat it!!!

Answer 9

1. No, but me thinks it may already have been done unknowingly (e.g. existence of genetic rice/corn)
2. Yes

Answer 10

Probably not. Not sure why I don't want to eat it but I would not.
