The FDA has gone too far!
The Food and Drug Administration had declared it’s safe to consume meat and milk from the offspring of cloned cattle, pigs and goats. That clears the way for these products to start showing up in our food supply immediately. What’s worse, the companies that sell these foods don’t have to tell us it’s from a cloned animal.
The FDA says it’s been studying the safety of cloned food since 2001 and can’t find any biologically distinguishable differences. So in other words, they claim the cloned food is just as safe as food that comes from animals that were bred.
I’m not buying it! I have NO scientific research to back up my fears only my gut and common sense. Who wants to eat meat that was essentially created in a Petri dish? Not me! Especially after seeing Will Smith’s new movie “I Am Legend.” For those of you who haven’t, it’s about a cancer cure that goes awry and turns millions of people into vampire-like creatures. I know it’s science fiction, but the speed at which science is advancing these days anything’s possible.
But what really has me riled up is these cloned products are going to end up on store shelves and we won’t be able to tell what’s natural and what’s cloned. I have a right to know what I’m putting in my body: good, bad or indifferent. It’s my choice, not the government’s.
Conspiracy theorists will probably have a field day with this post because we probably consume hundreds, if not millions of food additives that we have no clue about. Well, this is one that we do and it's not right that it's being forced on us.
I’m a die-hard meat and potatoes girl, but this may force me to become a vegan.
