Animal cloning is one of the most recent in an ever growing list of concerns in our food supply.

FDA Alert:
FDA announced on Thursday December 28th, 2006 preliminary approval of milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring to enter the human food supply. Despite public outcry, FDA has not recommended these products be labeled if approved.

In other words, in the near future, the meat and dairy products found on the shelves of your local grocery stores may come from that of cloned animals. To make matters worse, these meat and dairy products will not be labeled as such.

Can you believe that?

The FDA is not requiring food manufacturers to label whether or not their meats come from cloned animals! Isn’t that a shame?

Nobody knows the effect that consuming cloned animal products will have on our health and well being… not the FDA or anyone else. The consequences could be severe. This is further proof that the FDA does not have our best interests at heart and why you need to be as informed as you possibly can when it comes to the food that you and your loved ones will be eating.

BTW: This is one of the many reasons why I stopped eating meat 6 years ago.

Tell the FDA: Keep Animal Clones Out of Our Food!

According to the Center for Food Safety:
“Animal cloning is a new technology with potentially severe risks for food safety. Defects in clones are common, and cloning scientists warn that even small imbalances in clones could lead to hidden food safety problems in clones’ milk or meat. There are few studies on the risks of food from clones, and no long-term food safety studies have been done.

Further, the pregnancy complications in cloning cause unnecessary suffering for host mothers, and clones commonly develop with severe deformities and health problems, such as grossly oversized calves, enlarged tongues, squashed faces, intestinal blockages, immune deficiencies, diabetes, high rates of heart and lung damage, kidney failure and brain abnormalities.

Opinion polls show that the majority of Americans do not want food from animal clones and that they are opposed to cloning on moral or ethical grounds.”

What do you think about this?

Do you want to feed your family meat from cloned animals?

I am very interested in hearing what you have to say.
