Would You Eat A Cloned Cow?

[dArKeR]

 For farmer Ron Schaaf his daily dairy routine always ends on a sour note because nearly every drop of milk from his favorite cow gets poured down the drain.

"We feel it's kind of ridiculous," says Schaaf. "It's a waste for one thing."

It's a waste for him, and as CBS News Correspondent Lee Cowan reports, a worry for the government.

The milk comes from a clone: a copy of a prize-winning Holstein, which for now, the Food and Drug Administration considers an untested link in the nation's food chain.

The FDA is also watching rancher Dean Kephart.

He has a bull so perfect, cloning him was just good business.

They're called 'twins'

3. F***ing A yes

If it tastes good!

4. Yep!

I'd eat GM food too.

The amount of processed cheese-like product, artificial flavorings, reconstituted meat and such that's out there, the cloned cow sounds MORE natural than a lot of stuff.

maybe we shouldn't be eating any cows?

(the cloning issue is essentially irrelevant wrt the meat)

6. If it were a clone of Anna Nicole Smith? No!

Anna has turned into cow. Thank God there is no clone of her.

Now the Anna Nicole of old. That's another story. A mighty tasty morsel she was.

7. Whew, at first I thought that said cloned CROW.

Cow? No problem.
