Also in this newsletter was an article about food from cloned animals. I’m not entirely sure I’m ok with it. what do you think? Here is a copy of the article:

Cyclone DairyApril Fools! Ben & Jerry’s launched a fictitious dairy company called "Cyclone Dairy" – selling milk made from 100% cloned cows in March 2009. CyClone Dairy isn’t real, but it could be! Did you know that in January 2008, the U.S Food and Drug Administration declared milk and meat from cloned animals safe for human consumption, allowing cloned food products to enter the U.S. food supply?

We believe you should have the right to choose which foods you eat – and not to eat cloned foods if you don’t want to. And that’s why Ben & Jerry’s believes we need a national clone tracking system, so people and companies can know where their food is coming from.
Please visit our friends at the Center for Food Safety to join our campaign to track clones and protect consumer choice.

Do you care how your food is made? I do when it comes to meat, but maybe I don’t because I would love to live in the Star Trek world and have all my food replicated and never have to wash dishes again. We ate grapples.
