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!

The dangers of cloned foods are unknown but it is known that cloned animals have genetic defects and shortened life spans. World markets are still suffering from mad cow disease, which is fatal in both cows and humans. Keep cloned foods out of our food supply.Protect consumers of what we AND our pet are eating and demand truthful labeling.

Cloned food products should be labeled as such. Allow consumers to make informed choices.

Cloned food products should be labeled, as eating food from cloned animals is a personal moral and health choice...please support the Mikulski amendment to the Farm Bill.

You'd have to be a little crazy to believe you understand the long-term effects of consuming clones. I think most people have the feeling that, like smoking cigarrettes, we will come to discover eerie, if not only harmful side-effects of eating cloned food. Keep this science in the lab. Oh, and the really scary thing is, as of yet, consumers aren't informed whether goods are cloned or not -it should be illegal to sell cloned goods without differentiation.

Cloning animals for food is inhumane and unnatural; science does not yet have conclusive evidence that it will cause no harm to those consuming such products.

We deserve to know where our food comes from. THis is not right. Cloning is a very scary thing.

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous! It's almost as if you're now actively TRYING to kill off Americans. Not only through the selling of meat that is potentially dangerous, but by taking away the livelihood of American farmers! Please, vote NO on this idiotic issue!

STOP cloning animals. This scares the crap out of me. We don't have a shortage of cows as I've seen. Why not spend that money to protect the animals that are being hunted and killed to the point of extinction, like say, wolves and seals. But that's beside the point. I didn't ask for cloned food. I DON'T WANT cloned food. And if you put it in our supermarkets without labeling it, you're gonna have a LOT of pissed off people. And if things start going horribly wrong due to this cloned food, some heads are gonna roll! So do the responsible thing, at least, and keep testing it to insure it's safe. And ALWAYS label it. But my very strong opinion is that we have no right to re-create living creatures as we see fit... be it human or animal!

Can we just get REAL FOOD to be unpoisoned and get the FDA to do a real job protecting us in a real way first. I mean lets be real here-ya'll want to put on our table genecticly altered food and cloned milk but cannot solve the problems pressing us in real time ? Here is a clue-how about putting your attention on our constitutional rights that are being STOLEN out from under our noises by a WAR MONGERING FEAR MERCHANT PRESIDENT! How about the fact that our economy is crashing? When Gold is 700.00plus an oz. the dollar is worth 0. How about the fact that we as a nation are being mislead about medicines and drug companies. How about the fact that we are being held hostage by the oil companies and how about the fact that justice in this country can be bought and how about the fact that good health is not an option for poor people and mid dle income workers- why because healthy organic food costs to much to buy on a limited budget.Then there's the fact that insurance premiums keep going up and deductables keep going up and the quality of care keeps going down for those in the income range of 20,000 to 30,000 dollors. then when you get all of this worked out there is global warming-You people are so diconnected to real life in America and the real needs of your public. get the real issues worked out first and then give this issue time to prove itself one way or another- good or bad.
