Numerous opinion polls show that the majority of Americans do not want food from cloned animals and are opposed to this technology on moral or ethical grounds. Despite these concerns, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration released a report in 2008 claiming that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat, opening the gateway for the commercial sale of milk and meat from animal clones.
Cloned meat is quietly getting closer to being sold in Canada — but people may not know they're buying it
Seems nobody in the comment gets this, but this is a really stupid article (even though it's behind a paywall). "Cloned meat" is meat from clones, aka doll the sheepy. It's not lab-grown meat. It's cattle that has been cloned from other "good cattle". For all intents and purposes, it's a cow just like the original. The fact that it's cloned bears no relevance to it's nutrition or health. Cloning is not cheap, so I'd assume it's only really practiced on top breeding animals for example, not farm livestock. Cloning your dog costs like $50k. It's not an economical replacement to natural cattle. Fear mongering on it is a moot point, it's not a health issue, it's barely an ethics issue. Just stirring the pot. Digging deep to find outrage.

March 7, 2023I didn't even realise that we were cloning meat for food
People have no damn idea what cloning is, people honestly think that a cloned human/animal pops, fully grown out of a giant vat of strange chemicals with all the memories of the original intact, only with an evil goatee and no soul, and thier flesh is made of some vile artificial, highly toxic form of distilled evil.

r/canada on Reddit: Cloned meat is quietly getting closer to being sold in Canada — but people may not know they're buying it
November 6, 2025 - I got forwarded an article about this on Monday and my gut reaction was disgust and mistrust, but the article made some good points about how this step has been 20 years in the making at this point. They've gone through all the tests they felt they needed to do to be sure the meat would be safe, the cows are genetically identical (as you would expect a clone to be) and its mostly there as an option now.

r/DebateAVegan on Reddit: Thoughts on cloned meat?
March 7, 2023 -
Just wondering what the general consensus is for futuristic endeavours for meat and protein sourcing…ie cloning!
When cloning becomes such a normalized thing, is it then okay to eat animals, or parts of animals that have been cloned? As this take on meat would ultimately be to preserve the continuity of our animals to begin with. Or what about lab “meat” aka if the majority of an animal was cloned (flesh and organs) but no brain/soul….
I feel like this topic makes it hard to draw a straight line down the middle to find any definitive answers. Thoughts and opinions wanted please !
EDITING to reflect that for the purpose of this topic, no “fully” cloned animals are in debate- just lab grown “meat”.
EDIT #2: It would appear that even though I did not set out to “win” an argument, and really had ZERO ill-intentions here, I am still actively getting bashed and hated on for merely asking an opinion. I am disgusted with the human race and am appalled to see alleged animal rights activists effectively persecuting me, their fellow human, for simply asking a question of opinion. I’m done with the Vegan world. If you guys want more people to want to be on your team, you should try being a little nicer to your fellow humans. It’s looking pretty bleak at 8.8 billion vs 1 million at the moment - just saying!

If the cloned animal is still a sentient animal that feels pain - no. Would not eat it. Plus i'm pretty comfortable on my plant-based diet, and probably won't eat any meat regardless of what lab it is from.
