Are you concerned about your food coming from cloned animals?
- mrdobolina0
no, not concerned about bovine growth hormone, mad cow, avian bird flu, cross contamination, second hand smoke, car exhaust, acid rain, red dye no. 9, MSG or Nutrasweet either. :)
- what about a factory worker nutting in your soy milk?Llyod
- meh, it's all protein...GreedoLives
- I smoke my own meat...mrdobolina
- So do I! Oh, you mean you actually smoke your own meat, I thought... never mind.MrOneHundred

I'm amazed at how corn syrup is in EVERYTHING. It's ridiculous. All you eat these days if you don't pay attention is corn.

How is cloning animals cheaper then trying to get them to root like the old days?
- detritus0
Ultimate, no. For the meanwhile, yes.
I'd give it 20 years or so.
- By then it will Soylent Green. At least that cuts out the middle man.MrOneHundred

20 years?
but but.. cows like this have been giving us delicious meats for years now!

If I knew which ones were cloned, I probably wouldn't eat it. But if I didn't.....it's not like I'm going to stop eating meat anytime soon.

Personally, I'm more excited about those glow in the dark cats the Koreans are engineering.

If I turned off the lights, and my cat was glowing, I might give up drugs.

I want them to skip cloning animals for slaughter and move right on to vat-grown meat.

Man has been messing with nature from day one. Even carrots were 'engineered' to have an orange appearance by the Dutch.

Genetic modification is just the next step.

if you eat glow in the dark cats will you have glow in the dark shits?

We are already seeing the effects of hormones and pasteurization.
The world will not import our genetically modified crops. The repercussions will not be known for ages what this will do to humans. Big problem is that these crops will eventually 'leak' into natural crops, contaminating our food supply.
Like all big business pushes (think Nutra-sweet, that has been proven to cause brain tumors, saccharine, which causes cancer, etc. - took almost 25 years to get it legal!!), it is highly publicized that there is nothing different or dangerous, but there always is.
Glad I am one of them smug vegetarians!
- these are chemicals added to foodstuffs though, they're transferable. Modified genes from a tomato aren't going to get into your blood streamkelpie
- ...get into your bloodstreamkelpie
- Oooh... spot whose brother's a biologist! :)detritus
- ssshhhhhhhkelpie
- these gentically modified crops/fish/whatever are STERILE, how wiill they therefore leak?rupedixon
- misinformation...rupedixon
- 'Sterile'? Pfft. Did Jurassic Park teach you nothing?detritus
- nice kelpie. my sister is in the biology too.Jaline
