The cost to produce a cloned cow is several times the cost to birth and raise one naturally. And let's face it, as long as it's cheaper to do it the natural way, that's the way it will continue to be done.

I'm a line cook at a large craft-brewery in southern California (one that wouldn't even use a vendor that carried GM or cloned products)and I don't see how with the current trends being organic and natural that cloned meat would be very popular or profitable in the food industry as a whole. It would be one thing to use this technology to feed the hungry rather than feed capitalism, however we all know that is not the intent. We could use a select few cloned animals as starter herds for under-developed countries and then let the "animals" reproduce naturally(assuming instinct is passed through cloning). This is the same as GM (genetically modified) foods or antidepressants (that's a different tangent) that are in the marketplace today...there just isn't enough research. It's like trying to create a Hitler-like meat market(for lack of a better analogy). Holy Cow!

I truly admire all that you do and all that you are trying
