cue the vegetarian/vegan response...

OUTRAGE!!!!

"Frankenfood". I love it when the pitchfork-wielding mob of Transylvanian villagers invokes the image of Frankenstein.

Cloned with a side of fries. Hold the cole slaw please.

That is some freakish stuff. Straight out of some sci-fi novel. Cloned steak served with some GMO corn, you really don't have to imagine anymore...

Like I said the first time this article was written, OH NO, SCIENCE IS SCARY!

And I totally don't remember this, but apparently it was me who first posted this story.

As a vegetarian, I'm down with it. It's one step closer to being able to grow meat without actually killing a conscious animal.

Whats wrong with cloned meat? As long as it doesn't cause disease or turn you into a mutant, I don't see a problem. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing this taken further to the vat grown meat stage. Then meat eaters could chow down all they want and not have to kill a single cow, pig, chicken or whatever other animal they feel like eating.

The whole Frankenfood thing pisses me off. It's one thing to say "I only eat organic" or "No genetically modified food in our stores!" When you're sitting at your computer in a well developed western country, with a grocery store or a convenience store or a bevy of restaurants within reach. Go to one of those countries where people are starving because food won't grow in the arid or polluted soil and tell them that it is gross or immoral to genetically alter corn or wheat so that it will grow in their wasteland of a country. As long as modified food products are clearly and truthfully labeled and separate from un-altered food, what the hell is the problem?

As long as it tastes good and doesn't give me cancer I don't really give a shit.

Or at least gives me an equal or lesser amount of cancer than the meat I'm already eating. Less would ve nice.

The Vegans are way ahead on this one. Been eatin' altered and cloned tofu for years.

P.S.
Uh oh, they didn't tell the vegans at all?

Meh. Eat whatever the hell you want. Just make sure it's ethically responsible.

I've never really been worried about the health risks of cloned or GM foods but the fact of the matter if that any idiot whose taken a agriculture class knows that it's better to have a diverse crop than a superior crop. when an entire herd of cloned steers drops dead in Argentina from some unknown virus the small farms will hopefully reap the benefits of having a smaller but stronger sampling to choose from.

Not to mention issues of cross pollination and invasive growth in GM crops. I'm also willing to bet that raising a flock of cloned sheep is not the same as raising a flock of uncloned sheep.

the idea of growing meat is a bit freaky to me...are we on our way to test tube tube steaks?

Is there any scientific evidence that cloned meat or dairy would be unsafe or is this just typical unfounded hysteria?

Pretty sure it's typical unfounded hysteria.

Hey, these are uncharted biotech waters we're talking about here. Give the brand-new unfounded hysteria its due.
