    FSA is dead yall, i cant come up with anything else we havent done to death.

    i guess we have all read/heard these news stories about cloned animals being used for food, and the controversy around it.

    of course i love clones and i insist upon eating them. anyone else have any thoughts? maybe a bit nervous about eating these freakish frankenstein animals?

    i dont mean to bait anyone into an argument, i am genuinely interested in opinions about it.

    There is nothing unnatural or "Frankensteinish" about a clone and the meat and milk is identical to any other. Identical twins are clones. Most multiple litters are clones. Every slice of bacon you've ever eaten was probably from a pig that developed from a natural cloned cell.

    Eat 'em up, yum!

    you and me both brother.

    i am getting the impression that most people are not concerned about cloned animals and would happily eat them. sometimes i think the media reports a story as if there is more people opposed to something than there really is. like they are struggling to find a couple lunatics to speak out against it, while nobody else cares.

    i think they should do a worldwide search for the world's tastiest cow and clone his ass. or they could maybe find 10 or so that taste great but slightly different clone them and we could order them by name at restaurants.

    Yep, they genetically altered pigs many years ago to make it more lean and healthy. Unfortunately, it altered the taste of pork. Pork fat rules!

    I think most people would be surprised to know that just about everything we eat has been genetically altered over the years. Eating cloned meat is not a big deal.

    Assuming they clone a nice and tasty animal, I have no problem eating it. Anybody that does have a problem with it is a fool on epic proportions.

    I don't think God wants us to clone things.

    I think God gave us the capacity to create clones.
