Dude, you just ate a clone burger!

September 3, 2008 · Print This Article

In news that’s certain to construct some of you meatatarians out there a little uneasy, rumor has it that unless you’ve been buying organic, you may have theoretically aly eaten products from a cloned animal. In January, the USFDA removed the ban on meat and milk from cloned animals, which means its probably aly out there somewhere — lurking on a supermarket shelf.

According to the FDA, there’s no reason to anguish — since it’s “impossible to differentiate” within products from cloned animals, their offspring, and conventionally bred animals. However, whether you are worried, the FDA

says don’t freak out yet, considering very few of the cloned animals have reached the parenting age. Gee, that’s comforting, right? Surprisingly, a few of the major meat companies that society love to hate, including Tyson Foods Inc., have policies against cloned animal products.

Despite the fact that no evidence has been found to propose that eating cloned animal products will screw up our immune systems or DNA, I bet you don’t find too many takers when offer your friends a finger lickin’ good clone burger, hot off the grill.
