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!

Raising animals for profit is sour enough, but now reducing the quality of their lives and their life-giving milk brings to mind many other FDA misspeaks in the past.

Humans cannot clone a spirit and every animal has one. We would be eating and drinking something that comes from a spiritless being.

Any rational,reasonable,logical person knows that if we allow this act into reality, we are opening up Pandora's box.Think of all the dairy & cattle farmers that would lose their livelihood,what has been in their family for generations.Say NO to cloning & YES to helping those who have supplied us w/ dairy & meat products for hundreds of yrs.

I don't want to eat cloned food and I should have a right to know what kind of meat is in the package. The consumer should be able to make choices and honest labeling is the only way. I want to know and I feel I have a right to know what I am eating and feeding others. Honest labeling should not be too much to ask.

Some things do not need to be made easier. What is the point of cloning animals (and people, for that matter)? Are the animals even healthy? Farmed animals are far too often subjected to close quarters, a poor diet, a lack of exercise and a generally low quality of life; cloning would only add to that problem. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should; some things are better left alone. Stay with plain, naturally-raised food; it has done us well for thousands of years and how can we trust all of this manufacturing that has been going on for only the last two-hundred years?

Can any body tell me why cloned food is better? Profit seems to be the only motive. Health and safety are strictly secondary.

We have enough animals living in misery on Factory Farms including cows that are producing ten times as much milk than what is normal for them. We certainly don't need this Frankensteinish creation of cloned animals. I find this taking science far beyond what is acceptable. Leave animals and humans (we are animals, too) alone as we were intended to be. Animal Husbandry is one thing but Animal Science has gone into madness. Cloning is freakish and not natural. I am firmly against it.

Here's a question to the government. Would you eat cloned meat or let you children eat it?
