Would you buy Cloned Meat?

Issue:

The FDA issued its final risk assessment: Meat and milk from cattle, swine and goat clones are as safe as food we eat every day. They then lifted the regulatory barriers keeping cloned off the tables of U.S. consumers.

Belief:

At the same press conference, officials from the USDA asked U.S. farmers for a voluntary moratorium, urging them to keep cloned animals off the market indefinitely. The agency has concerns that people will freak the heck out if they find out they're eating sci-fi for dinner.

I would counsider it but I would demmand the authorities to make mandatory stating meat's origin clearly on the label.

No, I will never eat cloned meat. I'd become a vegetarian rather than be forced to eat meat from animals that are cloned. They are born deformed internally and externally, have to be kept alive by drugs and antibiotics. The whole idea is emblematic with the what's wrong with the western world. Can't we just eat traditionally the way our parents/grandparents did?

How do you support this statement?
'They are born deformed internally and externally, have to be kept alive by drugs and antibiotics.'

no we can't, because there was not 6 BILLION ppl on the world at the time of our grandparents, neither was there over 300,000,000 ppl living in the US either. go ahead and starve.

This thread is; unintellectull, nonsensicall, down right retarded! Stop worrying about food and address more pressing matters, such as; Healthcare, Foriegn Wars, Education, Religious debate in America, ect... You people sicken me with your "Food For Thought", when we have major issues being left abandoned!

It is kind of a freaky thought, but if they could genetically engineer the clones to be immune to mad cow disease, ecoli, and other diseases it would make them sound a whole lot tastier.

The country is killing the "real" meat animals or just allowiing them to die now and have been in the past.  Why pay so much more for the cloned meat when the FDA and the government could put a stop to the killing of the "real" guys and put a stop to the hunger in the U.S. and the world?Does the government and the FDA think that the poor and underprivileged can afford the prices of the cloned meat?  Let them work in an E.R., walk down some alley, look under an overpass, or look in some abandoned bulding.  Let them count the adults but most of all, let them count the children and the handicapped.  I am a vegetarian and an animal avocate but I don't like to see people starve.  Thanks, Beth Avary, R.N., B.S.N.

A cow is a cow, no matter how its made. I think people mostly don't understand how things are cloned. If they did, they would probably be fine with it. Before I found out how in class, I surely would not have, but I would now, knowing how it's done.

Scary. Executives at the major cattle cloning companies confessed that clone offspring have entered the food supply already—and they have no idea how many—despite the previous FDA ban on food from cloned animals. And U.S. meat producers have been buying semen from prize-winning cloned cattle. I'll wait and see if people start wiggin out. Yikes, what if I'm eating it already? Could explain a lot.
