Stop Cloned Food - Act Today!
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsor: Consumers Union

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!

this stuff just creeps me out! I am not even against the some of this type f science. Growing organs and the such, or even stem-cell if done properly (different debate). If others want to eat cloned foods, let them this is worse then having our meat full of hormones in my opinion

the thing that really gets me is we have no way of knowing whether of not we are getting the cloned meat...they don't lable it as cloned ya know. You can buy all organic but not everyone has the money for that, I think we should at least have the option of not buying the cloned meat and stuff
