  Is it not the FDA that accepted the idea that if fish can expel certain chemicals out of their body, then so can we, humans, therefore theose chemicals are non-toxic to us. How stupid is that, meanwhile so many food additive chemicals build up in our bodies to the point of toxicity!

  I'd much rather eat a cloned chicken breast than a "real" chicken that's been fed so many growth hormones that it tastes like vix vapour rub.

  Yeah but more likely than not your cloned chicken will not only be cloned but also beefed up on the hormones as well
