Maybe cloned cows are good for farmers but will you eat cloned beef or drink cloned milk?

I do not support cloning and will not eat/drink it in a box, with a fox. I will not eat/drink it here or there, I will not eat/drink it anywhere.

Will the packaging of products say “cloned?”

Sure. I’d eat, drink, cook, whatever. It’s not like we require labels on meat from cows with identical twins.

Of course, I doubt cloned meat will ever be commonplace. There’s no point, really. It’s so much easier to get your meat the old-fashioned way.

Sure, I don’t see why not. I eat genetically modified crops all the time (or so I presume, since I don’t make any effort to avoid them)and don’t see a problem with that either.
