 FDA’s action flies in the face of widespread scientific concern about the risks of food from clones, and ignores the animal cruelty and troubling ethical concerns that the cloning process brings. What's worse, FDA indicates that it will not require labeling on cloned food, so consumers will have no way to avoid these experimental foods (Center for food safety,2009). **



**The problem with scientifically altered** **food** **is that it has adverse effects on those who consume it. One has to consider the possible ramifications of this cloned food source. Obviously, the producers of this new food source don't mind tampering with it. So of course, they're going to try to make it as profitable for them as possible. This would, of course, mean growth hormone. Growth hormone has already been introduced into our food sources, of course. It's in the vegetables, the meat (either because the animals were given it directly, or because they ate the "super vegetables"), and because humans eat the vegetables and meat, it's in us, too. One has to wonder exactly how much of this "obesity epidemic" is the fault of this hormone (Dobbins,2009).**
