#1 The only problem I can foresee with Cloned animals is that essentially they're twins and would all be susceptible to exactly the same diseases.
Otherwise they would be nothing wrong with raising and eating them, they would obviously be selected for desirable qualities, such as higher Meat to feed ratio, etc.

#2 In yesterday's Daily Mail it reports the exact opposite.

"EU to back sale of meat and milk from cloned animal offspring"

Cloned animals are different in some ways, as they age faster than their "original". Dolly the first cloned sheep aged so quickly that it sparked research into cell division and the causes of the aging process.

#3 Hmmm, that could be either good or bad.
Good, faster growth and shorter time to market.
Bad, ages before growing larger.

#6 I love Dom Delouise, but methinks for this Artic would had chosen a good photo of CAPT. NEMO, BIO/GENETIC ENGINEER, SCIENTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE, from 1960's "MYSTERIOUS ISLAND" Movie.

IMO BEES are suffering mass die-offs due to IMPROPER CROSS-BREEDING METHODS [genetic security, Albino-ism] + CHEMICAL STIMULATIONS, as also complemented by RUSH TO MASS PRODUCTION.
IMO again, the same will occur to CLONED, HOOFED ANIMALS unless more care is taken. WE HUMANS MAY BE [unintentionally?] ALTERING THE NATURAL GENETIC SECURITY OF VITAL BIOTIC SPECIAS FOR THE SAKE OF CHEAP + EFFICIENT CONSUMER MASS CONSUMPTION. We may be endangering our own future survival as Humans by endangering the genetic ability of Human preferred Plant, Animal Species to resist natural disease + environmental change.

PEAK FOOD, etc. = includes PEAK GENES???

WON'T IT BE FUNNY IFF JAPAN DEV. GODZILLA TO SAVE JAPAN FROM TOKYO???
