Isn't is about time that this county demanded proper, and I do mean proper, labeling of all it's foods? My goodness is this country behind Britain and Europe! It is truly astounding what goes on over here behind closed doors, and no one says a dicky bird about it.

What is wrong with you all? I want to know exactly what I am buying and each label should tell me that in detail. They do everywhere else, so how come America has been getting away with not labeling every ingredient in their foods for so very long? The good old government that's who, they don't enforce it so of course producers think that's just great. They can put whatever they like in their products, and the daft American public won't have a clue, and yes we don't do we.

So please wake up and start demanding proper explicit labeling of all our products, from where ever they come from. Monsanto needs stopping in it's greedy big tracks. In Britain I had the choice whether to buy GMO foods or not because they were all labeled, so I could easily avoid buying them. Over here we have nothing in place to make sure we know what we are getting, therefore I don't buy.

Oh yes - our wonderful friends at the FDA are VERY concerned about our health. That's why they allow our water supply to be poisoned with fluoride, approve toxic food additives (Acesulfame K, Aspartame/Equal/Nutrasweet, MSG, among others) and are hard at work to enact a ban on mineral and vitamin supplements to make sure we all get sick and profitable for Big Pharma and their army of doctors.
For them, there is no money at all in healthy people - but billions to be made if they can make us sick. So they go for it !

I believe this Cloned meat does also cause cancers and contributes also to obesity as well. The FDA found no evidence that cloned meat poses any kind of public health risk??? I'd like to leave more information as the FDA is not being honest at all in making the statements they are.

Seams Grass-Fed animals would be the safest but eating meat is not a necessity at all. I have to retract what I said as I would not eat cloned meat. Even if this was cloned from grass-fed animals it's still not good to eat. Millions of people live just fine without meat. If you do eat meat then animals should be grass-fed.

Harvard Medical School

A healthy diet consists of a mix of foods from each of these three macronutrient categories

The body needs fat. It’s a major energy source and also helps you absorb certain vitamins and nutrients. Only some fats are bad for you: saturated fats (found mainly in meat, butter, whole milk, and cheese) and trans fatty acids, or trans fats (which come mostly from the partially hydrogenated oils used in restaurant fryers, many margarines, and packaged snacks and baked goods, and in lesser amounts from dairy products and meats). These bad fats boost your chances of developing heart disease by increasing blood levels of two of its main risk factors, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Trans fats also lower levels of the protective HDL cholesterol.

Unsaturated fats

Non-Cloned meats are causing many cancers and keeping nasty factory farms up and running. Does cloned meat also have bad saturated fats, cause cancers and obesity?

I'd eat cloned meat before making animals suffer and creating more un needed poisons and pollutions but I'd like to know if this cloned meat causes cancers and the FDA DOES need labeling as we all have the right to know what we are eating!

WOW, this is some shocking news. Doesn't suprise me though.
I have been workin hard here in Canada to write a book to send Government after quite a bit of research, to prove the difference between research and health. I have one hundred interviews with men and women who not only treated cancer but cured it, and I want to find out why these "Researchers" are not studying them to find out what they did. Making some good headway but I think that there is far more invloved than just policies. Trying to convince Health Canada that Doctor's are not always right especially when 22 billion dollars a year is at stake is a tough thing to do and has gotten me in some trouble as well as the MD turned Naturopath that they tried to have barred from the College of Physicians and threatened his life.
Ahh the wonderful world of freedom LOL.
Thanks to all for your wonderful contributions it is so lovely to see so many people who have a free enough mind to not believe everything that media and Governemnt tell them and to not be afraid to speak out. I am proud of you all.
Peace be with you

The thought of cloning alone makes me uncomfortable, I don’t want to even think about eating anything cloned; it is not our decision to produce life when it is convenient for us.

I just have a question for the meat eater. How will you know if you are or are not eating cloned meat if the FDA isn't going to reqired labeling?
