I don’t understand what all the recent fuss about cloned beef entering the food chain is all about.
In this country, the sale of food from a cloned animal, or the offspring of a cloned animal, is illegal. However, as is so often the case where there is a variance between the regulations applied here by the Food Standards Agency and those by the EU, it is said that it is probable that thousands of cheese and meat products on sale in our supermarkets come from cloned animals.
In contrast, a couple of years ago the US Food and Drug Administration ruled that meat and milk from cloned animals were safe to eat. Since then cloning has begun to improve meat quality and most Americans would seem unconcerned about it, though it is fair to say that the leading whole food chain in the US has banned the use of cloned products.
If producing cloned cows, sheep and pigs to improve stocks is something which is considered important, why should not their meat be eaten?
There seems no point in cloning otherwise.
