If your hungry try some cloned food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reportedly ready to approve the sale of milk and meat from cloned animals. The FDA said it has determined such food products pose no risks to consumers. An evaluation said that the food from cloned animals is as safe as the food we eat every day.

Supporters say cloned animals will become a very lucrative market for farmers and will give consumers a level of food consistency and quality that has been impossible to attain from conventional breeding.

Opponents question the ethics of the technology, and have filed a petition asking the FDA to regulate cloned farm animals one type at a time. That, if approved, would greatly slow marketing approval. Cloning could solve several farm problems, allowing livestock farmers to make many copies of exceptional animals and giving the producers much better control over their products.
