When you sat down to your lunch (or dinner) on Christmas Day, did you have cloned meat and if you did, did you know about it; does it matter? Some people think it does as America's two largest animal cloning companies are creating a registry of their animals. On reading that, I immediately thought "ah, they're making records of pets that have been cloned" but on reflection, I guess that may not have been their primary focus especially since the registry would, according to a report in Wired, also require that cloned meat be identified to customers. (I'm not sure I would want to know if I was eating cloned meat - or should that be "when"? May need to have a closer look at this engineered food field; the very structure of food may be changing.
