FDA declares clone meat is “as safe as regular meat”

I need to change my vacation schedule next year, ’cause all the good news comes out between Christmas and New Years when nobody’s watching. It’s already being discussed in the forums, but it should also be noted here that the US Food and Drug Administration has decided that meat and milk from cloned animals are, well, maybe not safe, but as safe as regular meat and milk. No kidding, that’s how they word it – “as safe as the food we eat every day.” Do you think their press secretary is veg? If I worked for the FDA, I think I would be. Well, I am anyway, but you know what I mean. It could still be a few years for cloned meat to show up in grocery stores, and the feds are still trying to figure out labelling rules – my vote is they incorporate the name of the animal in the label, since there will only be 3 or 4 of them outside of zoos or hobby farms if this takes off.
