So you don't know that it does, you just assume that because you don't understand it, it must be bad?
Even if we put aside the unkown aspects of cloning on health, there is another negative aspect. Clones all have the same genes. Wich means that if a epidemic is to happen, and their genes, (their unique set of genes) is not fit enought to resist the illness, the entire specie disapears. On the contrary, the more genetic diversity there is, the more the specie have chances of surviving. Bananas are a good example... yes bananas are all clones http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0726_wirebanana.html
Perhaps that's the goal: To breed out undesireable traits through cloning, which is mush more refined that typical animal breeding. Farm animal eugenics. That's what it's come to...
but it's all a good financial decision for the companies that produce the meats. They stand to make a lot of money from larger, better tasting, and potentially more fertile livestock. So as you protest and get all worked up, the capitalist train will just steam on by. PS) Eat organic, or actually go to the farmers markets and get the real, untarnished foods.
I don't believe we shouldn't eat meat, but this is just getting more and more disrespectful to life. Ours and the animals.
whats so wrong with cloned food? clones are identical to the original correct? so that would mean they are made of the same chemicals. so wouldnt it be just as nutritious/non-nutritious as the original?
yeah, I am a lot more worried about the chemicals put into our food. But like -Any Color you Like- said this will lessen the diversity of the species in general, which can lead to any number of problems.
I don't like the idea of people playing god period. If they're doing it with something people are eating, the idea is repugnant. This is worse than irradiation. They're making life and then feeding it to us. At least they're telling, it's not totally soylent green...
Like was mentioned earlier, you guys have been eating cloned fruits and vegetables for years and your jaws haven't dropped off. And being vegetarians or vegans you have probably consumed more cloned material than meat eaters. Cloning if done responsibly can lead to healthier crops and livestock, resistant to diseases and genetic anomalies and defects.
it is used for experimental reasons only atm. cloning, along with stem cell reseach and genetical modification is a very promising technology for the cure of all kinds of diseases. it probably won't be used commecially because, as you said, natural reproduction is cheaper. you will however soon (if not already) see products (meat and plants) which are genetically modified. of course, all the stuff you eat today is genetically modified by humans (selective breeding/cultivating), difference being that now clever people just speed up the process by direct modification of the genes, rather than indirect.
In my line of work, I read plenty of scary auras, people who are crazy or cruel or downright evil. But nothing scares me more than the aura of cloned beef and milk. Yesterday, the FDA announced that cloned beef is fine, just fine. "Meet and milk from cattle, swine and goat clones are as safe as food we eat every day," announced the Director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, concluding a six- year study. Clearly that study was conducted by people who don't know, or care, about half of life. That would be the more interesting half, the half that isn't material but spiritual. So the FDA, in its partial wisdom, concludes that clones are just fine, and indistinguishable from real animals. Absolutely... if you don't have a soul. Because if you read the aura of any cloned animal, you will find a machine. Trees, plants, flowers, puppies, people – all living things have vibrancy encoded right in their energy fields. They have auras. Not so with clones. I know, because I have read a photograph of Dolly, the first cloned animal reported in the news. It was one of the most frightening experiences I've ever had as an aura reader, like entering into a science fiction world where, to the superficial eye, machine could seem identical to real. I know that clones don't have auras because here, in Loudoun County, Virginia, you can drive by farms with cloned herds, looking like peas in a pod. Only, to any aura reader, they look more like staples in a staple gun. Clones are machines, not animals. What happens when you chow down on something that is not alive, never was alive, and has no energy, chi, prana, life force value at all? "Hey, let's find out," says the FDA, in effect. "Let's do a huge, unscientific experiment by finding out what happens to a whole nation. Soul, no soul, in our food, who cares?" Well, I care. And you might, too. Anyone who reads auras has great advantage as a consumer for choosing the produce with a fresher aura. (I explain how to do this, among other consumer techniques, in my how-to book, the international bestseller "Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.") Food with a strong aura makes you feel more alive. Irradiated food, like those convenient juice boxes, is energetically dead. And so is cloned food. Eating this is like putting a black hole into your body. When you eat vegetables, grains, milk or meat, you're eating components of consciousness, not only nutrients. Using a cloned steer to breed cattle is unbelievably foolish. Foisting unlabeled products on the public should be considered criminal. Contact your senator and representative now. Tell them "No" to cloned meat. No, it must not be made available without labeling. It's too late to have input into a corrupt FDA. Cloned food is now legal. But at least the USDA, which controls labeling of food, has requested a "voluntary moratorium" on selling this food. That's a start. Insist that this "food" be strictly monitored and labeled. Then let the marketplace decide. Wise Americans don't want to eat this anti-matter, nor do foreigners who eat our exported food. The British have already protested. When will we? Don't wait until Judgment Day to tell the quick from the dead. Not when it's a matter of the food you put into your body.
I wonder if this will bring the price of meat down as well as its worth, because you know; now we'll have a lot more, and the more there is of something, the less its worth generally. How will this effect the economy? Will fast food be cheaper? I bet the companies will maintain or even raise prices, all while making more themselves. I wish there were more old fashioned mom and pop small business resturants that get their meat from farms and REAL meat; if there were any less, there won't be now. They'll be taken out a business. As a meat eater, this scares me. I eat meat to get the proper kind of protein, since nuts don't really cut it for me; ): srry, we have canines for a reason. We're omnivores. But I still believe animals should be treated humanely, kept happy and killed instantly. i've seen too many videos where they torture them throughout their life then slowly kill them. if you have to kill them for food, at least be humane. I don't see why we can't just take them out with a bullet to the head, but until then let them roam at least semi free? I hope I'm not coming across as a sicko; I just think meat IS food, but we as humans should be responsible about it.
i'm not going to eat cloned meat... however, this is a great advancement in this field. with being able to clone, this advancement can be used for lots of medical fields, such as cloning muscle tissue, skin, organs, etc...
lol not gonna have mucha choice lil brother... thank codex alimentarius then again dunno what you will eat lol,, cuz all our food gonna be tainted insome way shape or form
