Ben & Jerry’s CyClone Dairy - Cloned Animal Products Are No Joke

“Old-fashioned dairy, the new-fashioned way!  CyClone is the first major dairy to raise a herd of clones and clone offspring.  You could say cloning is our passion - where we combine DNA with TLC.”

That is what Cyclone dairy says on their website’s mission page.

Thank goodness it’s not for real…not yet anyway.

Ben & Jerry’s launched this fictitious dairy company last month to bring attention to the frightening reality of meat and dairy from cloned animals entering the nations food supply.

In January of 2008 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared these safe for human consumption.  Without using a reliable national DNA-based tracking system for the cloned animals and their offspring, people and companies may not know where their food is coming from.

The Center for Food Safety now has an online action alert with a letter to forward to your Congressperson and Senators.

Take a stand today against this controversial issue.
