You Americans appear to be caught up in a headlong rush with little
dissent of corporate stuffing around with nature - all for dollar
benefits, not for benefits to health of humans or the other animals
involved.  Write to your congressman and senator, mayor and anyone else
and demand labelling of all cloned produce - meat, fruit, grains -
everything.  If it's demonstrably harmless, the pushers will agree.

It'll never catch on in our lifetimes in cultures where the 'precautionary
principle' applies:

I recall John Gray's memorable sentence: "...The lush natural world in
which humans evolved is being rapidly transformed into a largely
prosthetic environment"  Ugh!
