Do You Like Clone Milk?

Would you purchase milk if it came from a clone cow? In 1999 the first cow was cloned and created constroversy across the nation. Milk from cloned animals are starting to be sold in grocery stores. Last year, the FDA announced that they will endorse cloned foods in America. They also stated that meat and milk from cloned animals and their offspring were safe to eat. It would take another ninety days to hear what the public has to say. Today, those ninety days are up; but there will be a thirty day extension. Is this ethical? Think of the safety and morality issues, the nation may not agree just because the FDA says so. Consumers have a choice. FDA does not believe that these food products should be specifically labeled! Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Dean Foods, and Unilever do not intend to carry these products unless the FDA follows through on the decision to label all cloned products. The final decision will be made in thirty days unless there is another extension. I probably would not purchase "cloned milk" because it will not seem organic to me, whereas if it originated from an "original" cow.
