I'll just have to pay more for organic. Probably won't ever eat out again. Cloning just doesn't feel right to me, and I think the natural process of reproductionis the way to go.
I think sheep conceived and born by the tradition "in-out" method are just the right way of producing livestock. Nature's worked for a long, long time. There's no need to mess with it.
Americans aren't aren't the edge of starvation--we're friggin' fat as a nation! Let the teeming third world masses eat this freak food and we can enjoy cows are nature enjoyed them. You know, beef, not some petri meat that's been artificially injected. It's what's for dinner.
Even if the science is pretty sound, it's just not natural...
I have some reservations toward "frankenfoods" concocted via direct genetic manipulation, but cloning a superior specimen of Elsie doesn't give me the heebie jeebies, you're just xeroxing something good, not creating it.

Your body is all you've got ......... you better take care of it. Without it, you die, and cramming all sorts of unnatural foods in it isn't the smartest thing in the world to do, is it ?

Cloned meat looks pretty good on paper, but I just don't have a good feeling about it. It's unproven in the long term, and there's just no reason to eat it until I can observe the effects on people who do. You can't be too careful when you deviate from nature.
I also read that it will cost about $15,000 to clone a head of cattle vs. $2,000 to breed it the old fashioned way. I wonder how much money, if any, cloned meat will save consumers down the road.
We've been eating cloned vegetables for years, especially corn products with no labels or disclosure.
Yes, but vegetables are much simpler organisms that cattle. The more complex an animal, the more chances are screwing it up tinkering with genetics in a lab. Also, the genetics of corn are understood in much more detail than that of any livestock, or any other grain for that matter.
If you have a good bull and a good cow, mate them for crying out loud. Don't put together offspring in a dish.
No Labels For Cloned Food Product
