The link (
Hide Your Real Links) opened fine for me (I use FireFox 1.5) and as far as I could tell from reading it, it was a legitimate article (I'm not saying it has any truth to it, but it's a real article, regardless of whether or not it is accurate). WanderingOak, if you (or any other members/readers) still have trouble accessing the article, give this link a try:
Traveling Forever Blog » Blog Archive » A New Reason to Become Vegan - Cloned Meat!
I've no idea what the "Hide Your Real Links" thing is about (maybe a Digg "feature"?), but if it is intended to "hide links", it doesn't do a very good job.
Either way, I didn't find the article very helpful, nor is it very accurate (no offence Stankley, it's just not that good). The article includes the text
"The FDA is going to approve cloned meat for human consumption", which is linked to an article on the
ABC News website which states:
Quote:
Dec. 27, 2006 — The Food and Drug Administration is expected to make an important ruling this week on the future of meat and milk from cloned animals.
[...]
If FDA approval goes through, the question is how and whether cloned meat and milk will be clearly marked so consumers know what they're buying. Experts say that may be unlikely.

While I don't think eating meat from a cloned animal sounds like such a good idea (you seriously have to wonder what effects all this "food" we’re so keen to engineer, with our extremely limited knowledge no less, has on the exeedingly complex human body), about the most useful thing I think one could take away from the article (not the ABC News article, the article Stankley posted) is part of the finishing paragraph:
Take that for what you will.
