FDA disregarded results on food from cloned animals

Its own surveys showed that most people don't want to eat food from clones, and wouldn't feed it to their children, but the FDA still decided not to require labeling.

    Well, I have no objection..

    If the base animal is safe to eat, why would the clone be any different, save from what is added to the beast after it's born (Hormones, antibiotics, etc.)..

    Would it make any kind of sense to use a base animal with genetic problems?

    I don't see any reason not to consume it if it's a clone of a healthy animal.
