Stop Cloned Food - Act Today!
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: Care2
After a cursory review, the Food and Drug Administration is poised to allow milk and meat from cloned animals into the food supply, without any labeling. Clones could soon be the food on your table, and you would never know it.
A majority of cloned animals never make it to adulthood due to birth defects and disease. Most sicken and die before they reach their first birthday. With weak immune systems, they contract infections requiring antibiotic treatment. Overuse of antibiotics already contributes to the rise of antibiotic resistant strains.
But we have a chance to make the FDA reconsider. A proposed amendment to the Farm Bill would keep cloned food off the market until the FDA fully considers some of the things you care about -- safety, animal health and public health.
Tell your Senators to support the Mikulski amendment to the Farm Bill -- because cloned food should be proven safe for humans and animals before it's on our tables!

I have concern for animals that are cloned. Animals are able to reproduce all on their own. Why do we need to mess around with DNA???? How do we know there isn't something profoundly wrong with these cloned animals???? We need to stop playing GOD..........

are you willing to eat it? would you feed it to your families? Then why lie to the public and not label the foods as they should be?

Wake up!!!! No cloned animals...no cloned food. I'm pretty sure there will be no cloned Senators and Congressmen/women unless and until you make compassionate decisions on behalf of humans and the animals (who, unfortunately, give their lives for greed and stupidity).

If your going to allow those companies to sell cloned milk products, at least label it. I don't think its ethical that we're using cloned goods for selling without telling the American consumers.

More and more cases of MRSA are showing up. The last thing we need is a food source that requires the use and therefore our ingestion of more antibiotics. This is a serious problem already resulting in many deaths.
