The FDA green lights selling cloned meat and here is why we’re worried:
A year ago the the FDA approved cloned meat and it has seeped its way into the food supply at grocery stores. The USDA found out and they quickly put a ban on it, but it was just too late. The Food and Drug Administration approval deprives consumers of their right to know about the origins of their food as it fails to require labeling of any kind on food products from clones or their offspring. Critics point out that cloning farm animals produces genetic uniformity in US herds, leaving them prone to disease outbreaks or in the worst case bioterrorism. Let me guess, now your number one new year resolution is to become a vegetarian?
