Cloned foods 7

Burger Clone
Ground Beef

Cloned hamburger is not simply part of science fiction anymore—at least at Cyagra, a biotech company based in Elizabethtown, Pa. Every Friday, employees at this firm chow down on hamburgers, tacos, or meatball spaghetti made from meat that was left over from clones. The company raised and then slaughtered 11 clones for samples that were used as part of a cloned meat study. The results of the study were sent to the FDA as part of its investigation into cloned foods. Ground beef derived from clones is also four and half years off.
