Environment correspondent, Richard Black, reported for BBC News, that
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the production
and marketing of foods derived from cloned animals. It is also reported
that the FDA will not require any special labeling for food from cloned
animals.
I thought we were still debating the ethics of cloning sheep - now the FDA is approving the sale of cloned meat and isn't requiring any special labeling?

It seems pretty offputting. I like to know what I'm eating and where it came from.

Yeah, me too. I think this is when people selling organically-produced meat do a little happy dance :)

Even as a vegetarian I find this frightening. It's strange how much resistance their is to the simple act of labelling our food. As consumers and, therefore, the ones with the purchasing power, shouldn't we be entitled to know where our food is coming from, whether it be organic farm, GMO crop, or petri dish?
