The FDA's decision not to require labels means YOU WILL EAT McCloneburgers and Kentucky Cloned Chicken unless you either can afford to pay triple price for organic-or decide to finally stop eating meat.

WSQT's War of the Trees covers animal and earth liberation issues. This segment was used as an intro to this section of several broadcasts.

does not stop with the steak. All meat products will be contaminated - milk, cheese, icecream, etc. Also, all chicken products- anything with eggs. And pork - heart valves used in human heart surgery. etc. etc.

Also, the cow poop problem. That's how ecoli gets onto your spinach. And your salmonella into your peanut butter. Will fertilzers be labelled for organic use - no cloned poop products?

the ridiculous scare tactic of "cloned poop fertilizer" as a health concern. We are all in danger from the habits of people who eat animals and their products (bird flu, water runoff contaminating spinach, etc.) but the threat to veg products is not from cloning, it's from more run-of-the-mill diseases from contamination. It's also from global warming and pollution caused by cattle and other farmed animals.

I personally hope that meat becomes a more risky health proposition for meat eaters. Obviously the ethics aren't getting to you (which is shocking - you want to stuff animals in your mouths so badly you don't care how much they're suffering because of it). So maybe worrying about your own greedy ass will make you do the right thing. You don't need to kill for your meals. So stop it and do the decent thing and go veg.

not a 'scare' tactic. And eating veggies won't save you or me. Once the 'cloned' enter our food chain it will go everywhere with unknown effects for generations.

'Fateful Harvest: the True Story of a Small Town, a Global Industry, and a Toxic Secret', Duff Wilson, Harper, Oct/2002, ISBN-13 - 978--60931834

In this alarming, real-life version of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, Patty Martin, a housewife, mother of four and mayor of the small farming town of Quincy, Wash., began to notice a pattern of failing crops, infertile topsoil and rare diseases in her community in the early 1990s. When she asked tough questions about the pattern, she received evasions and resistance from some local businesses and farmers, which only made her dig deeper. Martin found that a product manufactured with sludge from a waste pond in town, sold as fertilizer and spread on local farms, stunted crops, destroyed quality topsoil and left high concentrations of such heavy metals as cadmium, chromium and beryllium not usually present in fertilizers. As Martin pursued links between fertilizers, hazardous waste and public health risks, she, like Ibsen's protagonist, became increasingly unpopular in the town she was trying to protect. Growing beyond the conflict in Quincy, Wilson's investigation (which led to a 1997 series of articles that were nominated for Pulitzer Prize consideration) revealed that under prevailing state and federal laws, polluting industries throughout the U.S. saved millions of dollars by sending hazardous waste to fertilizer makers who in turn recycled the toxic chemicals into a product sold to farmers and consumers without disclosing what was in it. In the resulting outcry, Washington State became the first to insist that fertilizer companies provide detailed chemical analyses of their products.

Contaminated fertilizer causing human birth defects, dead pets, poisoned crops. Salads aren't going to keep you or me safe. Once the 'cloned' enters the food chain it will persist and spread.
