"f.d.a. says food from cloned animals is safe"
okay, okay, wait, wait, wait. last i knew we had a sheep and a cat. and now there is a whole discussion about to label or not to label meat from cloned livestock? f.d.a. says no but survey says the people want to know. good lord, we have all kinds of folk who are probably planning on making loads of money from cloned milk and meat talking about how there is only need to label if the food is significantly altered by how it is produced. ummm, hello, it's a clone!!! i am thinking somewhere in there somehow there is some significant alteration of something. but they are doing it for us. apparently they don't want to " misinform consumers with some sort of implied message of difference". that translates to, we don't want to lose a whole lot of money when people just won't touch the meat labelled "cloned". blah blah blah goes the rest of the article and for some reason i am deeply disturbed by it all.
am i going to have to become vegetarian?

Cloned cattle, fed with genetically modified cattle feed and reprocessed cattle parts. Delish.
Happy New Year!
Yes, hello Dolly indeed. This, I guess, is what they call progress: genetically altered GMO grains, refused by consumers here and in Europe, so that they are then shipped as "food aid" to Africa (they even tried Zimbabwe), where they wreck havoc on the local food markets (how can you compete against free?). But then again, we have growth hormones in cows and milk, denatured chickens fed all sorts of nasty things in breeding batteries, and finally "farm raised" salmon kept in pens so crowded and full of waste, you'd get seriously ill if you fell into one of them. And let's not forget the trans fats and high fructose corn syrup in pretty much everything else out there. It's sickening just to think about all the crap the food industry puts into our food. I'm surprised we're not all vegetarians already. A good place to read about all this is at the Worldwatch Institute's website (http://www.worldwatch.org/node/3938).
Pandave, you are right to dread the clones....
Wishing you a wonderful new year.
Ciao,

'Farmed', 'Cloned', 'Transported?! Beam me a salmon!'

erci... you gotta love those reprocessed cattle parts... not just processed but reprocessed for extra scariness.
hey horst! so lovely to see you and have a fabulous 2007! i try to take these things a little step at a time but that means all the modifications and globalisation of unnatural meats AND veggies is galloping ahead... fighting the losing battle with all my heart!
