Franken Food

I just do not like the idea of cloned food. it appears that cloning is expensive and cloned animals will just be used for breeding purposes. I still do not like it.

Perhaps most angered by the FDA's decision were congressional opponents, including Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski. The Maryland Democrat has been pushing legislation to delay action.

"If we discover a problem with cloned food after it is in our food supply, and it's not labeled, the FDA won't be able to recall it like they did Vioxx - the food will already be tainted," Mikulski said in a statement, referring to the drug removed from the market in 2004 after reports of serious side effects, including deaths, among users.

I know. I sometimes rag on Ms Mikulski but she is in the right side of the issue this time.
