"China to Clone 1 Million Cows a Year to Meet Country’s Rising Demand for Beef" I seriously hope they do not intend to export this meat.

I personally believe it is bad enough that a lot of diseases has been linked to naturally produced meat, can this be any better for our health?

Found this article online about the health defects we need to more certain about these thing not every cutting edge science project should be implemented. We must understand that most of these meats are produced for  profits.



"Cloned animals pose several concerns for consumers.  These animals tend to have difficulty delivering live young and develop lameness.  These illnesses may lead them to be heavily treated with hormones and antibiotics, which can enter the food supply and put human health at risk.  Furthermore, the high costs involved and the patenting of the animals lend the industry to corporate control, putting small- and medium-sized farms at risk of consolidation and exclusion from raising patented breeds that had been part of the public domain for generations.  Numerous opinion polls show that the majority of Americans do not want food from cloned animals and are opposed to this technology on moral or ethical grounds. 
Despite these concerns, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration released a report in 2008 claiming that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat, opening the gateway for the commercial sale of milk and meat from animal clones. Since the agency is not requiring food from clones or their offspring to be labeled, consumers are purchasing these novel foods without their knowledge or consent."
