Amadeus Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 US body backs sale of cloned food Meat and milk from cloned animals is safe for human consumption, the US food regulator said in a draft ruling. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that cloned cattle, pigs and goats produced food "as safe as the food we eat every day". The recommendation, coming after a five-year study, is a major step towards allowing food from animals onto US supermarket shelves. Great! Soon you can have a cloned steak, and some GM modified sides with it.. Could be good news for the Island, though, especially if plans to market manx products as high quality, all natural and pure food are pursued further in anticipation of 2011...

Rhumsaa Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Strange how the UK seems to be moving further away from GM and towards organic yet the USA is pumping out stem cell steak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I love (in the most ironic sense) the wording in the article of *virtually indistinguishable*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectro Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 At first glance I thought it said... Meat and milk from cloned animals is safe for human consumption, the US food regulator said in a daft ruling. ...that would have made more sense.

Chloephoria Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 wouldnt it cost more money to clone them to eat rather than just do it the 'normal' way, and use the money for better things, what is the point of spending all that time cloning it and making it grow when you can just simply grow it?

Chloephoria Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 enlighten me, what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 well if I was being cynical and paranoid I'd suggest that once the american public accepts eating cloned food they will accept a cloned sheep and eventually via small steps accept cloned people or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 America is a nation of fatasses who will stick anything in their gobs without a second thought. Just because they accept it does not mean that I expect to eat in in McDonalds in 3 years time. Europeans have different standards when it comes to sticking crap down their throats.
