Cloned Beef Burgers: "Delicious"

The FDA has said food from cloned animals is safe. Though it won't land in markets yet, cloned meat is being served at one company

Shirley Trimmer knows her hamburgers. She prepares them with a handful of bread cubes, a little egg, chopped onions, and just the right sprinkling of salt and pepper. Last Friday, on Jan. 5, Trimmer prepared some of the burgers for a lunch meeting of the seven-member team that makes up the biotech company Cyagra, based in Elizabethtown, Pa.

But something was different about these hamburgers: They were made from the meat of cloned cows. For the last year or so, every Friday, employees at Cyagra have been eating their way through the thousands of pounds of beef left over from the 11 clones that the company raised and slaughtered for a cloned-meat study. "We started with the steaks, which we grilled all summer long, and now we have hamburger meat left over," says Trimmer.

Have you ever had a burger SO Good...you just had to have another just like it? well now you can!

I see this going one of two ways.

1. We find a bunch of perfect cows, clone them,and only have healthy cows to eat after we kill all the sick and Jewish cows (before you get offended that's a joke by the way, we would obviously nurse the sick cows back to health THEN eat them :P...jokes *hugz 4 jewz*)
2. Something goes horribly wrong and the genetic material in the cloned cows begins to break down and mutate at a rapid rate, Thus giving them psychic and telekinetic abilities powerful enough to enslave the human race.
   

So what if our meat is cloned? (so long as option #2 does not happen) Good meat is good meat right? What will the impact to all this be? What would you clone if you could? I'd clone some cookies right about now :(
