The FDA is preparing to approve the distribution of milk from clones (remember Dolly the sheep?) into the general marketplace. I sure hope they label that milk differently from the milk you get from "normal" cows!
It's bad enough that we now have to worry about GMO fruits and vegetables entering the foodstream, but now we also have to be wary of milk that comes from cloned animals.
The FDA would probably also consider allowing the meat of cloned animals for human consumption, but right now the cloned animals cost so much money that they are being used as breedstock. However, their "children" and "grandchildren" could end up on your dinnertable, and scientists aren't sure what kinds of genetic mutations would show up in those meat animals.
