Well i heard this a few days ago and i was wondering what do some of you guys think about eating cloned animal products. Me, now way! I don't mind food right now with all these chemicals in it but a Cloned animal, man i can't even imagin if i discover i've eaten a cloned animal in the last week. >_< So what do you guys think about this. Would you eat cloned animals or not or do you just don't care.
Meat from cloned Animals is safe to eat?

I don't think I'd like to eat cloned meat until it was in the market for awhile. I'm afraid of weird side-effects and the like x.x It might taste like real meat, but still, it's got that eerie quality about it that it's artificial. Artificial meat. How awkward.
I think this is better for Other Voting Polls though...

Considering that a clones are an exact duplicate, there shouldn't be any problem health wise when consuming cloned animals. Heck, even when the DNA is messed around with there isn't much to worry about, if anything.
Also, this is better suited for Other Voting Polls.

I've also heard about this, I suppose you live in the UK?
The only thing with clones is, they'd be more suspectable to disease. Other than that, I can't see anything wrong with cloned meat. However, like Chibi-chan, I'd probably wait a while.

Cloned meat is perfectly okay AND healthy to consume, it's been scientifically proven and if you employ a little logic on how cloning works, you'd been able to sort it out by yourselves.
Nevertheless, health and "possible side-effects" aside, there are people who have moral problems with cloned meat. Most of them are religious.
I personally have no issues with cloned meat.

Hey, what do you have against Chemicals huh? Have you seen the stuff they put in Food Nowadays? Yerk! Problem, is, we have 2 Options: Either Eat or Starve to Death.

Theres no difference about the produce from a clone animal to a normal one, nor would there be any 'side effects' :S
Seriously why whine about it? everyone knows that going to mcdonalds is unhealthy, but I can't image this stops you from getting some fast food.
Also you eat cloned plants all the time- strawberries, potatoes, beans and so on. You clearly don't feel guilty about that do you?

No it's not a 'fake meat' like tofu. It's still meat and identical to meat taken from whatever it's cloned from.
And no they're not - a clone has the same likelihood of catching something as its parent. If anything something to be cloned would be chosen because it is more resistant to a disease ~_~

What I mean is, if one of the clones gets a disease, with all the others being genetically identical there's a higher likelihood of them all falling victim to the disease equally.
I have nothing against chemicals in food what so ever. I mean i like apples and most the apples i eat probley have chemicals to kepp then lasting longer and to keep bugs off then. So i don't mind chemicals in my food (as long as it doesn't kill me >_>) i just don't like the idea of eating something cloned. But then again someone (i forget the name who posted) says plants get cloned all the time. True but these are animals we're cloning here not plants.

I don't see how can it not be morel to eat cloned meat. It's the same as eating an uncloned cow. It's basically meaning it lives again with different memories (IMO)
I wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it health wise. If we can eat a normal version we can eat a cloned version.

I don't eat it because my parents don't like... buy it...
but every time I see it I can't help but think SPAM(the canned meat, not the off-topc discussions fyi). Artificial meat flashes through my mind.

You do know this thread is about cloned meat (which I don't think one can currently buy), and not processed meat, right?
Sorry if I count as being off-topic or something.

Chances are, if I wasn't aware that it was meat from a cloned animal, I would probably eat it, but what's actually the point of this? like, aren't there enough animals to mindlessly slaughter for our own hunger needs anyways? Why should one animal have to endure the pain of being killed for its meat twice? xD
I don't see myself being able to eat it by choice. I mean, even if it is the same, the entire thought behind it is kinda..disguisting XD

How about organic food? Isn't that the point of it...? o_O Or maybe I've misinterpreted the idea of organic food, I'm not sure.
I wouldn't even know if it was cloned meat, most likely. As long as it tastes like normal meat, it wouldn't bother me. It's... meat. ._.;

Things that are cloned still have to be born and grow up and stuff. It's not like they're being hacked together with scrap metal. I don't see how it would be any different than a non-cloned animal. It's not as if you press a button and suddenly there's a clone. It's the same as having a twin.
I don't see any issues with eating meat from cloned animals. It's the same as eating a regular animal. It's like getting two for the price of one ;D If you think about it; if they continue to clone, it should save other animal populations from decreasing any more than we've already done.
