Cloned food

Cloning ignorance pisses me off. And here comes some more. What is the deal with people and cloned food. In other words eating meat from a cow that is cloned. This fear doesn't even make a remote piece of sense. First off food that is poisonous to humans usually comes from either outside contamination (ecoli, pesticides, etc..) and disease. Put it this way, you are not going to grow another eye if you eat a cow that was born with three (assuming radiation was not the cause, which is another issue). I have no idea how people make a connection between cloned beef and harm to people. That would be saying that the intrinsic structure of the animals muscle is poisonous somehow. That is ludicrous. Even in animals with natural genetic defects those things don't affect those that eat it. I can't fathom how people come up with this tenuos connection between cloned food and danger to humans. It is such an ignorant leap of logic. Do people even know what meat is. Obviously not.

Speaking of this radiation thing. I am guessing people have no clue what radiation is when they expose food being irradiated to kill pathogens. Fuck man. All you need is a basic high school education to know that food irradiation is not harmful to people who eat the food. Also they have done tests to make sure it is safe. A high energy particle doesn't make something radioactive. There is only one type of radiation that can do that. It is neutron radiation. And they don't touch food with that. Fucking losers and their complete ignorance. Irradiated food isn't safe my ass.
