Tell FDA you don't want cloned meat for dinner!

To the Food and Drug Administration:

I'm writing to urge you to keep the current moratorium on selling milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring as food. The FDA's Risk Assessment says that milk and meat from animal clones and their offspring are as safe to eat as food from conventionally bred animals. However, your own Risk Assessment shows that many cloned animals suffer birth defects, die at a young age and are treated with drugs. I oppose encouraging the increased production of more unhealthy, suffering animals in our food system.

I think that any new food technology should be proven safe for humans and animals before being allowed on the market. The standard should be just as strict as for food additives or animal drugs.

If you do decide to let food from cloned animals and their offspring be sold commercially, then at least require that such products be labeled so that I can make my own decision whether to consume these products or not. Orange juice must be labeled if it comes from concentrate--milk should also have to be labeled if it comes from a clone.

Sincerely,
