It looks like the senate is finally waking up to the crazy push for cloned animals in our food supply. Last Friday, the senators passed a provision to the Farm Bill that will delay the FDA’s endorsement of using food from cloned animals. The amendment calls for a “rigorous and careful review” of the economic and health impact of cloned food. Say what? You mean the FDA was planning to introduce cloned food without testing its safety–despite the fact that most cloned animals are sickly and die young? Thank co-sponsors Senators Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) for recognizing the insanity in this situation. Because who wants to eat cloned food that hasn’t been sufficiently tested for human safety? Exactly: No one. Watch for a similar story in our January issue, which should hit the shelves (and our website) in the next two weeks. I’d love to hear what you guys think!
