FDA: Clones Are Safe to Eat The FDA may have approved cloned meat safe to eat, but it's still a prickly debate that runs the gamut of opinions... "We don't yet know the long term repercussions of eating this stuff... GMO and cloned foods are basically gambling with the most important aspect of our lives.
