On Cloning Cows

Sorry corporate America. Let me, not you, decide what is, and what is not, a frankenfood insofar as what I’m going to put in my stomach.
Oh, sure, you got proof out the yin yang that cloned foods are no different than that which they were cloned from, right?
It passes all the tests, right?
How about the test of time? How about the idea that the difference might be so slight, that its true effect, harmful, or otherwise, might not be known for years and years to come?
A cloned cow is just as good as a cow with a twin, right?
Wrong. I’ve known twins, and though they, intitially, seemed identical, after a few weeks of familiarity I began to see physical differences. They are NOT exact copies, as, supposedly, clones are.
Until corporate America can prove to the extent which will withstand the test of many years, I will positively boycott any food maker who does not label their food, and give me, not them, the opportunity to decide what I will eat or drink.
