while checking my e-mail this morning I came across a shocking discovery. i was not aware of the FDA's lifting of the ban against cloned meat... and after quickly looking into it, it seems that this has been developing for at least the past year. how much cloned meat have we eaten without any knowledge? and how much testing has been done for safety in reality?
