God created the animals, when we agree to eat things which have been 'cloned' by science, its a counterfeit. I wouldn’t buy (cloned meat) or order it in a restaurant.

I realize that the cloning process itself does not involve either hormones or antibiotics.

I was feeling a little squeamish about the idea of eating meat from cloned animals anyway. Thinking about the amounts of hormones and antibiotics used in cloning clinches my decision to avoid it. Support your local farmers who don't use growth hormones or antibiotics in their meat and milk products! Thanks for that link, Lester.

I too have a beef with this idea, and I have a bone to pick with the FDA. ;-) Seriously, folks, I don't think there'd be any harm in eating meat from a cloned animal, but why? And the lack of genetic diversity issue is really one to consider. Will the animals be susceptible to new diseases, etc. if we decide to keep eating the same cow/pig/chicken over and over again? Good one Lester.

I mention Jewish because he talks about kosher issues. That might not be germain here, but he does offer up other evidence as to whether cloned foods has been deemed safe. A good read.

Genetic diversity is there for a reason. Before anyone falls too much in love with cloned meat, or cloned veggies or fruit, do some research on our beloved banana.
