Say no to FDA's approval of consumption, sale of cloned animals

Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved marketing meat and dairy products from cloned animals for human consumption. There’s widespread concern among scientists and food safety advocates over the safety of such products; recent polls show most Americans don't want these experimental foods. Clearly, the FDA’s approval is to benefit the food industry, not farmers and consumers. In fact, the FDA has failed to investigate health problems in cloned dairy cows on a Maryland farm.
The non-profit Center for Food Safety is asking you to keep public attention on this issue by writing a letter to your local newspaper. For information and sample letter, click here.
