FDA approves cloned meat, milk: newspaper

I love how this story opens with the statement;
- A U.S. Food and Drug Administration report finds that meat and milk from cloned animals is, for the most part, safe to eat, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

And then later recants to say, quoting an official;
- Food from cattle, swine, and goat clones is as safe to eat as that from their more conventionally-bred counterparts

Well of course it is, they are still cattle, swine, goat, etc. Just because they were cloned instead of bred conventionally doesn't change their species.

Why do I care? Isn't it disingenuous to prohibit the cloning of stem-cells for medical research but approve the cloning of animals for agri-business?

Just asking.
