I know we hate the Gov't killing business. But, I never understood why, is it bad not to require the companies to put 'cloned' labels on food or country of origin labels on them.

Anyway, I can't wait for the 'free market' to kill the companies that won't put if they were cloned or not.

Also, this comment stood out:

'Jim Greenwood, president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, said labeling meat from a clone would be as absurd as telling consumers that a steak was produced through artificial insemination, or by cows actually mating.

"None of that information would be useful to consumers," Greenwood said.'

Thanks.

What about people? Should clones have automatic citizenship if they are assembled in laboratories on USA territory?

My wife and I discussed this today. Neither of us want to eat cloned meat so we'll be looking for labels that state the meat comes from non cloned animals.

I realize this meat won't be on the market for years but I'm willing to bet that a lot of folks will be looking for that non cloned label when it finaly does hit the market.

Pompus and arrogant come to mind, watch for falling stooge.

This Frankenfood hype is total BS. with all of the things to really be afraid of, do we really need to make up a fake crisis?

Apparently.

With all the other ridiculous labeling requirements already in force, the FDA won't be bothered to add cloning information labels? Let consumers make their own decisions.

Now, if we could just get some clone-free Democrats...

Marketing ploy, they can charge more money if "NOT Cloned" is on the label.

All in all, I'd think I'd prefer hormone-free cloned meat over clone-free growth-hormone meat.

I'm hoping (not that I know this for a fact) that the availability of cloned animals would reduce the need for growth hormones, which I think are getting into our kids.

Why does the FDA think it's safe for us to eat cloned meat, hormone fed cows, chickens, etc., and milk that has been monkeyed with, yet want to limit our access to vitamins, herbs and homeopathy?

Ping to an article you may enjoy reading ... cloning animals is already begun, but not for food, yet. In Texas, there is a cloning company (Savings and Clone; catchy name, that) who will produce a clone of your favorite pet! They have cloned cats.
