Cloned meats headed to American tables!

[Houston1stWordOnTheMoon]

I don't know if they can clone waffles, but this was my breakfast today:

How old are you? Like 5? That would be just enough food to piss me off!

I would need about 4 or 5 of those with a side of eggs and some juice and tea

You sure are documenting your meals thoroughly. Might I ask why?

Would you like some Waffle with your butter ? EGADS man, you might as well just drink the syrup straight from the bottle, it would save you time.

Because he is a "Cereal Killer" ! Waa-waaaaaaaaaaaa.

I probably have a heart attack if i ate that butter cake

Because me and my friend had a contest on MySpace for who had the best meals. That's two waffles by the way.

Good news. Rather than relying upon selective breeding methods, now we can just take the biggest and best from the herd and replicate it with consistent results. When we get higher average outputs for the same or lower average inputs in a competitive market, prices will drop.

It'll benefit the poor more than the wealthy, though. I fully expect a bunch of elitists with no sympathy for the poor to try and be a roadblock, but hopefully this'll won't get shot down.

I remember a major problem with animal cloning was the deteriorated condition of chromosomes taken from adult cells. Apparently our DNA ages with us or something, so new animals beginning life with our old junk will inherit problems not present at birth. All in all, it makes sense, because no one really knows how we age. I actually wouldn't want to eat products made from animals suffering from health problems caused by premature aging, but it looks like consumers won't have a choice on that one.

So couldn't you just take the DNA from a group of tagged cows when they are young, and then identify which ones to use the saved DNA from later?

[musicman]

Trae is your house filled with pictures of food? I don't think i know anyone who takes pics of their meals.

Ahhh-Haaa, by then possibly reversing the process. So that, everytime a new born came along, you could just grab THOSE DNA cells, and slowly but surely return back to the original animals youthful DNA.

However, I haven't heard about the DNA mutating as we get older, or of any species as it gets older. That is interesting, I will do some surfing and read up on that.

That's how some cells become cancerous.

It was a onetime thing, but sometimes I take pictures of the meal I get from Timmy Chan's on my phone.

I had me some chicken strips from Timmy Chan's the other day. The absolute BEST there is in this city.

[Trae]

It's cheap too. You can get chicken wings and some shrimp fried rice for about $6.

Hopefully the chicken wings are larger than the ones you get at Frenchy's and Popeyes.

I think those wings are infantile in size! No cloning for them!!!!!

cloned meat is the last thing you worry about eating at Timmy cnan's

I haven't been at Frenchy's in a while. The last time I went there was last summer, it was packed. It was like 7PM and the drive-thru went onto the street.

I have never known that place to not be packed. Maybe when it is closed

[Trae]

Ya thats true. Even at midnight it was packed because one time we were going to Louisiana and my parents wanted some chicken so we went down I-45 and got to Frency's.

[Parrothead]

I don't think some of you understand WHY they are "cloning" for the meat. You will quite possibly get a consistently GOOD piece of meat, without worry of "Mad Cow" or other hidden factors. They are using cattle DNA from only the strongest in the herds, you know, the cows that tasted the best after being roasted over and open flame, and trying to insure that WE the consumers get a better, healthier piece of meat.

Bring on the "clones" and the A1, it's what's for dinner !

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think genetically engineered cows can stop Mad Cow disease, or any other disease that regular cattle get. Unfortunately. I will have to ask hubby about that.

[Houston1stWordOnTheMoon]

Mad Cow is spread by other cows eating the meat of infected cows. If you clown a healthy cow and not feed it sick diseased cow parts, it will not get mad cow disease. Make them "corn fed". That solves the problem right there. Dont feed them any meats of any type.

[dbigtex56]

You're correct. Mad Cow disease is a transmittable disease (sometimes caused by the practice of feeding cows animal byproducts). It is not transferred genetically, and so bears no relationship to cloning.

[Guest Marty]

I will still go on eating 2 hamburgers a day until i die. Most if not all fruit trees are clones.

I heard Raising Cane's were better.

HAHA!!! Nice.... Maybe he's watching his food intake?
