FDA approves cloned meat
Here's something sure to stir up some moo's and boo's. The Wall Street Journal is saying this morning the FDA is set to give cloned meat the OK as soon as next week. The Journal isn't naming its source. The announcement would be huge for a small group of biotech firms that want to produce copies of prize dairy cows and animals. Cloned cattle cost $15,000-$20,000 a copy.
Many consumer groups oppose cloned food. FDA approval could lead to backlashes from Congress and the European Union.

Perhaps we should take a cue from the author Tad Williams, and skip straight to using bovine stem cells to produce 3 cubic foot blocks of tender loin. Bonus points for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, land usage, and water pollution.
I suppose milk could be ably rendered in a similar fashion, not synthetic in itself, but in it's source. . .
