Cloned Meat and Milk just as bad.

Science News Article | Reuters.co.uk: "Meat, Milk from Clones Look Normal, Study Finds"Tue Apr 12, 2005 03:38 PM BST

Oh goody! Cloned meat and Dairy appear "virtually identical" so I guess that's devoid of virtues then - just as unhealthy, just as catastrohpic for the environment, just as cruel to the animals, just as wasteful a use of the world's resources compared with producing vegetable protein for people to eat.....

Doh!

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Meat and milk from cloned cattle are virtually identical to the same products from prize animals bred the old-fashioned way, researchers in Japan and the United States reported on Tuesday.
While cautioning that their study is not the definitive report on whether it is safe to eat cloned animals, the researchers said it suggested they might be.
Xiangzhong Yang of the University of Connecticut and colleagues at the National Institute of Agrobiological Science and National Institute of Animal Health in Kagoshima, Japan, cloned beef and dairy cattle and examined their meat and milk."
