KEEP YOUR SCIENCE EXPERIMENT OUT OF MY MOUTH!

Looks like the ad campaign from Chick-Fil-A was dead-on accurate as well as a precursor of things to come! Wow...some truth in advertising!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Meat and milk products of offspring from the 600 cloned animals in the United States most likely have not entered the nation's food supply, an official with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday, as the agency downplayed the long-term impact of cloning.

The FDA last week said meat and milk from cloned cattle, swine and goats and their offspring were as safe to eat as products obtained from traditional animals. Before then, farmers and ranchers had followed a voluntary moratorium that prevented the sale of clones and their offspring.

"There is no feeling that this will ever become a way of mass producing animals," Stephen Sundlof, director of FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied nutrition, told reporters.

He noted that another reproductive technique used in agriculture, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, has been used to create only a small portion of the millions of animals on U.S. farms.

It could take four or five years before consumers are able to buy clone-derived food on a wide scale as animals need to be cloned, mature and give birth. So far, several major food companies including Tyson Foods Inc, the largest U.S. meat company, and Smithfield Foods Inc have said they would avoid using cloned animals.

I am officially not eating beef products anymore. I don't care what the FDA tells me about how safe eating test tube cattle is....I am not buying it.

Let's not forget this is the same FDA that told you that children's cough medications and Vioxx were safe also. OOPS...sorry folks we seemed to have made a mistake....those products aren't actually safe. Now they are telling me that eating Dr. Frankenstein's remake of 'Old Bessy' is perfectly safe. Right!

I have already switched my daughter over to organic milk and called the company who manufactures the milk to ask them if the milk they produce is from cloned cattle. When I heard the answer of "abolutely not", I replied, "congratulations you just made a sale!"

Sorry folks but I have little faith when the federal government tells me something is really safe. Asks the Hurricane Katrina victims how they feel about living in toxic trash cans that leak formaldehyde fumes.

OOOPS again....looks like FEMA dropped the ball on that one. Sorry your house was destroyed, but until we figure out what to do with you we want you to live in this nice trailer. If you develop any odd illnesses or unexplained diseases remember it's not from the formaldehyde used in manufacturing your home.

I know a lot of people love a great steak or burger but to me eating some lab experiment beef is not my thing!
