The FDA says its OK for the U.S. to eat meat and drink milk from clones. This means the U.S. will be on the bleeding edge of cloneburgers worldwide. The agency will be presenting its assessment for final approval soon opening up a whole new area of agri-science. The agency scientists said dozens of studies indicate everything will be just fine.
 In the journal Theriogenology last January, agency scientists analyzed dozens of studies—many of them from cloning companies Viagen and Cyagra—and concluded that meat and milk from clones showed no “nutritionally or toxicologically important differences” from products now consumed.
But some advocacy groups aren’t buying it. “We’re very concerned,” says Charles Margulis, spokesman for the Washington-based Center for Food Safety. “We don’t think there’s really enough science to show that clones are safe.” Along with other groups, the center collected 140,000 comments on the proposal to send to the FDA, which is declining further comment until it has reviewed the public response.
