Which tastes better "real" beef or "Frankenstein Cloned" beef?

Answer... Well Americans will soon become experts on the subject. A recent article in the NY Times announced that the following:

FDA Says Clones Are Safe For Food
"A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last U.S. regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats. "

"The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support opponents' concerns that food from clones may harbor hidden risks."

Next we will hear that the European Union has decided to import more American cloned meat so as not to violate current Trade Treaties.

As an american living in Germany, I always feel safer but the risks are growing and the power of companies like Monsanto and Archer-Daniels Midland is increasingly becoming unlimited...

Where is it going and will it ever end?
