Ok, I agree Pisshead has done little to support his agruments and most of his posts are a bit too heavy on conspiracy theory for me. In many ways, however, I have to agree that cloning for food is a bit scary. I have no moral/ethical issues with cloning and agree that there would be no or little difference between cloned and natural meat if the means of conception was the only difference. But what would be the point? The last time I heard big cows didn't have a whole lot of trouble having little baby cows all by themselves. And, how could all that technology be any more cost effective than just letting the cows go hump each other out in the fields?

The only benefit to cloning animals for food that I can see would be the genetic tweaking that would go along with it. I don't mean cross pollinating one sativa with an indica to get a real nice smoke, that's natural. I'm more concerned with them screwing around with the dna to get some kind of super cow. Sure, the idea of a 10lb. fillet mignon is quite tempting but who knows what the long term effects would be. I actually doubt we'd see any problems to our immediate health but what about future generations?

History has shown that when we fuck with mother nature mother nature fucks back. As soon as we cure one disease another nastier one pops up. Pesticide resitant insects are popping up all over the place. Girls are getting their periods much younger than they used to and many believe (maybe it's actually been proven-don't know myself) that its from all the hormones in the milk children drink. Plus, just look at the posts in some of the other forums from some of the younger members of this board. Something is making them get dumber and dumber....That was a joke, sorry.

Anyhow, I don't have any proof that this would be bad for you but it's just a hunch. In any case I don't want my great granchildren loking like this guy
