By Next Week, You Could Be Eating Clonesteak
An interesting article from Giz...
The FDA is on the verge of approving cloned cows as safe for eating. That means you could be eating cloned cow's milk and thick beef clonesteaks by next Friday. Yum! According to a rather sober assessment in the Wall Street Journal, however, it's not likely that Black Angus will start having clone cuts on their menus. It's so expensive to clone cows that the consumer market will see few of them. Instead, companies are planning to use them as breeding stock. The whole thing makes me think of Margaret Atwood's chickie knobs in Oryx and Crake.
