F.D.A. Tentatively Declares Food From Cloned Animals to Be Safe
The finding could make the U.S. the first country to allow products from cloned livestock to be sold in grocery stores.
Gosh! Am I alone in the thought that this is really non-news? Why wouldn’t it have been safe? An elementary understanding of cloning should have made that perfectly clear, even to the FDA. Cloning doesn’t change the molecular structure! It’s not synthetic; a cloned cow is a real cow. Duh! The real problem lies in the fact that we already have far too many cows.
What I would like to see the FDA work on approving is irradiation for all foods. Salmonella and E. Coli infections could a thing of the past. Irrational fear is the only thing keeping it from being used more often.
