After years of controversy on the subject, the Food and Drug Administration announced that food from cloned animals is safe. Are you willing to eat meat and drink milk from cloned animals and their progeny? Should grocery stores and restaurants be compelled to label the products as such?

Jeffrey Bruce....I rather eat cloned meat than the meat with injected hormones. Do you know that they feed cows hormones to produce more milk. Scary isn't it? I'd like to have myself cloned. Think of the work you could get done. "Get to work buddy". There's nothing wrong with cloned meat.
No I would not eat cloned meat and yes I do think it should be labeled so people can choose for themselves if they want to eat it or not.

I'm not so sure I wouldn't eat it. Really what you are eating is the progeny of cloned animals. Its too expensive to clone and then slaughter the clone. So, besides the parent being a 'twin' of another animal, Mother Nature is left undisturbed. On the other hand, about 20% of cloned animals die, often from unusual or mysterious causes. This doesn't bode so well. Keep in mind however, that there's a good chance we're all eating 'cloned' meat. The practice has been used already by top breeding animals. And once they reproduce, there's no stopping it.

I don't eat meat...I'm fully veg, heading toward vegan. I never saw it coming.
But if I did ever go back to eating meat (which will never happen with the way meat/poultry are handled in industry in this country), I certainly could never eat Dolly.

No freaking way! and thank you for bringing this to discussion. Anytime we humans mess with mother nature it backfires, and I believe this will too. I hope the FDA requires labels on cloned animal products, or if not that the non-cloned producers will have the good sense to promote that fact on their packaging much like the producers of hormone- and antibiotic-free chicken and milk. If animal products are going toward cloning, I'm thinking vegetarianism looks pretty good.

Hmm i'd have to do some more research before deciding!

Maybe, maybe not... yet, if it's done well, it might not be such a bad idea. Then again, I might be more inclined to go for petri dish steaks.... Jury's still out for me.

Hell, why not! It still beats eating processed, soy added, by product, syn-subsitituted, grain filled, fake meat creations. According to ranchers, cloned cattle will be only the best used to breed, creating natural offspring for butchering. The cloning process is too expensive for mass production, otherwise.

I like the idea of soy-meat. Cloned animals and their flesh are no more palatable than un-cloned animals and their flesh. But then I realize I am goofy. To answer your question, Kate - yes, I think they must label the products as meat from cloned animals!!
