FDA Set To Approve Products from Cloned Cows

phantomlord writes "The FDA is currently set to allow beef and milk from cloned animals onto the market. Further, the products will likely not be branded as such and there is no way to know if we're currently consuming products from cloned animals." From the article: "Farmers and companies that have been growing cloned barnyard animals from single cells in anticipation of a lucrative market say cloning will bring consumers a level of consistency and quality impossible to attain with conventional breeding, making perfectly marbled beef and reliably lean and tasty pork the norm on grocery shelves. But groups opposed to the new technology, including a coalition of powerful food companies concerned that the public will reject Dolly-the-Lamb chops and clonal cream in their coffee, have not given up."

When I first read the headline I thought it said, "FDA Set To Approve Products from Cloned Clowns"

Clowns

Nah, they're way too tough and stringy.

What's the fun in eating the exact same meal day-in, day-out?

It's the culinary equivalent of marriage.

[Rob T Firefly]

But they do somehow fit an awful lot of patties into a single bun. Mmmm, clownburgers...

Begun, the Clone Wars have.

Deja-moo

The feeling that you've eaten this beef before.

There is only one reasonable response to your rambling idiocy.

MMMMMMOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Re: Labels

[TheMeuge]

Actually the label SHOULD say:

"This beef is NOT CLONED. It contains 20% more fats than the cloned one next to it... doesn't taste as good... and costs 3X as much... please enjoy."

Re:Clowns

[JonTurner]

So these two cannibals are eating a clown when one turns to the other and asks "does this taste funny to you?"

(Sorry... I just told this joke on /. a week ago, but it was just too good an opportunity to pass up!)

Re:Big deal?

[Anonymous Coward]

And there is always an evil twin. Thus without proper labelling, you would have a 50% chance of eating an evil hamburger.
