I heard about this last night on TV. Seems that there are at least 700 cloned animals in the USA that the FDA feels that the "Consumers" don't need to know will be used for human consumption. My question for everyone is: Do you think that it should be posted on the package that you are about to buy, that the meat is from a cloned animal? My answer is yes because it has been proven that cloned animals don't live as long as other animals because they are sickly etc,. Now why would I want to eat a sickly animal ewwwwww giotta tell yah I'm thinkin lettuce and veggies are lookin better every day |

hmm...I think it is inevitable that it gets posted on packaging somewhere. All contents are posted, but the conditions in which the animals are raised, etc. are not. Something tells me this will be a different story. Im not sure that I think there is anything wrong with cloned meat consumption...but there will be those who will protest. People line up now to protest genetically altered vegetables and wheat, fruit and such. They think that it is somehow inferior to the natural thing, but they are WRONG. Genetically altered food is subjected to almost three times the testing that the FDA does on normal foods meant for consumption. Not to mention the fact that enhanced lab-grown foods could end world hunger. |

I happen to agree with GW it's hard to say what the out come of clone meat would be on the human body over a long period of time..But it's safe i guess it's ok.... |

I think cloning is wrong and hate the whole idea of it. It's something that should be printed on the label in my opinion. My problem with it doesn't even have to do with whether the meat may be harmful, but just that I don't like the idea of cloning anything to begin with -- at least not anything that is living, unless it is a plant or something. Cloning in general just creeps me out when it comes to animals and talk of doing it with humans. |

To be honest we have no idea what they are putting in our food. I do know that giving these animals antibiotics etc,. can't be good for us in the long run. I agree with you GWH about the hope to end world hunger but it just doesn't sit well with me that they will be packaging these animals for consumption and not posting that they are indeed from cloned meat. If there is nothing wrong with us consuming cloned meat don't we as consumers have the right to know what we are gonna be throwing on the grill and eating? The clip I saw the man from the FDA clearly stated that there was no real need to post that the meat is cloned. He is more or less claiming that if the meat is cloned it is basically the same animal because it has the same DNA. I don't know that I would be able to eat it . I have a problem eating any meat now as it is because of all the antibiotics they pump those animals with. Not to mention the hormones they pump the cows with to make them produce more milk. I think we all need to quit messing with mother nature. |

I still eat it, lol....hell, I'd probably even eat cloned meat if that's what I was stuck with in a situation, but I don't agree with it. It's just too weird and seems too unnatural to me. Oddly enough, I think cloned meat is supposse to ensure you get the best quality all the time because they choose to clone the animals that provide the best meat and what not, are the most healthy, etc... eh, just too weird for me. I've always been like that though when I think technology changes things too much. |

I dont mind at all. See, if I can remove any ethical objections and morality issues (which is really easy since I am not religious in the least), it seems like an extremely logical thing. All the protein and benefits of meat without the slaughter and risks of diseases like Mad Cow? Sign me up! |

Well think of it this way lefty. What about the drinks you consume. There not natural infact there scientifically formulated to either taste good give us energy etc. I could go on. Not that I support cloned meat but my point is why should it feel weird to you when you consume things that are not what mother nature had? |

i wouldnt be worried about an antibiotic if you still eat veggies that pesticides are used on. regardless of what a FDA guy says its a matter of time before cloned meat is labeled, after all we do label organic and kosher foods and with good reason. its something new to people so of course people will over react it happens all the time (just like lefty said about himself, people get freaked by technology and always will). i agree with GWH about it being a lower risk of mad cow, they will be raised in a more controlled environment which is a very good thing for us. as far as messing with mother nature, nearly everything most people do in their daily life messes with that and it will not change but only get worse as it has continued to do. but for you answer about it being posted in my opinion i say no but it is peoples right to know what they are putting into their body. i trust the FDA more so since they have increased the quality of our meat products. however if it is a concern go to a butcher because they know what they are getting and selling. |

Don't get me wrong.. I'm all in favour of technology.. my biggest issue is chemical additives - our bodies are complex machines and we don't fully understand (in my opinion) the effects of these chemicals on them... Could explain the growing obesity and illness found in the populations of the world perhaps? |

obesity from what i have learned has to do with peoples personal eating habits and being flat out lazy. theres so many people who sit on their butt all day watching tv, playing games or sitting on the computer without actually doing anything. people back in earlier days did not have these things and did not have the technology that we do that make things easier on us. so everyone would take part in helping out the family. the larger amounts of illness (in my opinion) hasnt really changed when you look at the numbers of the population and the percentage of sick people. i think its taken wrong sometimes, a hundred years ago there may have been 100 people with a certain illness. now there may be 100,000 people with a certain illness but the overall population has grown too so to me it dont seem as though it it has gotten worse just more noticeable (i could be wrong). im sure you could ask your grandparents about things from back in their day and get what their reactions were. hasnt the average lifespan of men and women increased? not trying to argue here just bored LOL |

Obesity is what's called a "societal disease" in anthropology. When we used to walk great distances across the plains as packs of hunter-gatherers our bodies evolved to meet the very intense physical requirments of our daily lives. Also, we ate what we caught and had a diet much, much lower in fats and sodium and things like that. When we became 'civilized' (though I am yet to see much evidence that we have ) we began to ingest diets that are much more processed and overall less healthy, and we became a whole hell of a lot more sedentary. As a result you have a longer life span thanks to the great strides in medical sciences, but your later years are filled with heart disease, cancer, obesity, etc.

Very true GWH. I will stil say that they need to label the cloned meat. It should be the choice of the individual if they choose to ingest it. I just recently got a half of a cow from my bro in law. So I know where the cow grazed, what it was fed etc,. |
