Will You Eat Cloned Meat?

Leah Sweeney nailed it. Population control would heal most of the world's ills. Why do we resist this so much?!
We argue against limited birth, yet also cry over the ramifications of over population. You can't have it both ways. Back to cloning....I read that the cloned newborn is at the same genetic age as the donor, so even though it may be technically one day old, its genetically say, 5 years as the donor may be. It also inherits any diseases and the most disturbing news is that a cloned animal tends have "failure to thrive" syndrome. Depression or mental illness. As a consumable product (how awful this sounds), life is short, therefore the animal does not suffer long. The ramifications of eating a mentally disturbed cow or a depressed hen is about the chemicals and hormones passed to us from them. Remember, brains respond to chemicals and hormones. Hormones in meat and dairy products have hastened puberty in children, so it seems unlikely its innoculous.

I would not eat cloned meat, or drink milk from any cloned animals. I think it should be be a law for all products of cloned animals be labeled as such. If and/or when this happens I will become a vegetarian.

Cloned meat has the same DNA as the animal it was cloned from. I don't have all the details, but I'd assume a cloned animal would be raised the same as its predecessor, so basically, we'd be eating the same cow (pig, chicken, etc) twice. I don't see a problem wtih cloned meat, if it's labeled so other people can choose for themselves, and especially if it lowers the cost of meat.

I would not eat cloned meat given the choice. My problem is that none of the meat packages disclose what they currently are adding directly to the meat or the food the animals are eating. For that reason I try to eat only vegitarian.

ID RATHER HEAT VEGTABLES THAT A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT. UGH!

Um, maybe we should focus on the real problems- like population control- that necessitate producing artificial meat in order to feed a legion of human beings that far exceeds the planet's resources to support them.

Oh great I can just see it now... More weird illnesses just what we need

I don't trust much of anything the FDA approves... heck they approve anything and everything, and trust the companies to provide evidence, versus doing their own independent studies and investigations. Look at everything they "approve" and then later recall after there are "too many" deaths.

Seriously,if I was given the choice to know I was able to order cloned meat versus unique meat-I'd go for the unique. Definitely. But I guess the cloned would taste the same, right? Ow. This hurts my head just thinking about it.

Yes...most deffenatly!!! We should have the info so we can make an informed choice when purchasing the meats!
