Want to know if that stuff you're eating was cloned?

That government wouldn't require accuracy in labeling food, particualy the types of food that are of concern to consumers is amazing. But it's amazing only to those who don't understand that food producers are among those who own our government.

Therefore, the only way we have of ensuring that our government nannies are indeed looking out for our interests above those of corporations is to insist on it.

Today's case in point: 89% of consumers say they want to know if the meat and milk they buy comes from cloned animals. According to Consumers Union, "This January, the FDA stated that it sees no problems with the safety of milk and meat from cloned cows -- despite 160,000 comments from consumers that they have concerns about the safety of cloned milk and meat and Congressional legislation asking FDA to hold back and do further study."

So unless there is an organized outcry, you're going to be eating God knows what.

Consumers Union has provided an easy way to get in on the outcry. Go to this web site to communicate your concerns to Congress.
