FDA approves cloned meat for human consumption

[seafarer]

I don't understand the whole controversy in the first place. What possible harm do people envision from eating meat from a cow born from a cloned parent (or eating the actual clone in the first place)? In the NYTimes, Stephen Sundlof, director of the F.D.A. Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition is quoted as saying:

“It is beyond our imagination to even have a theory for why the food is unsafe,”

And that's the point. There is no biological, nor rational basis for even hypothesizing that such meat would be any different to eat then any other meat. And especially since the meat producers are talking about selling the meat from the natural offspring of a cloned animal (since the clone is highly valuable as a breeder of whatever desirable characteristics that warrented cloning it in the first place - nobody is talking about slaughtering herds of clones, they'd go bankrupt doing that).

It seems to be a bunch of mindless hype from fundamental religious groups and others with ethical concerns, but no real understanding of what they are against.
