Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

They are considering a bill that would allow meat and milk from some cloned animals to be sold to consumers (without being labeled!)

New York Times Article

Another reason to buy locally and organic!

I read this in one of the articles:

Quote:
CLONED animals may often be born deformed and die young, but scientists who have looked at every aspect of their biology can find no evidence that it would be dangerous to eat them.

Cloned calves have died from respiratory, digestive, circulatory, nervous, muscular and skeletal abnormalities, as well as because they had abnormal placentas, the FDA noted.
And researchers have looked at all the possible causes of these abnormalities: changes in the genes, in other parts of DNA that affect what genes do, and the process of cloning itself.


And with all that knowledge, they say it is safe to eat...?!?

I'm so glad we get our meat from a local farm! This is scary stuff!
