But I do feel that if minusonebit feels the need to know if its cloned or not, he should have that right. Kinda like when the vegetarians got upset about meat fat or whatever in McDonald's deep fryers. The choose to be vegetarians and didnt want thier fries cooked with meat. Sounds reasonable to me.
While I sort of see your point, being a vegetarian is a lifestyle choice that requires a completely different sort of rules. True hardcore vegans won?t even drink milk or eat cheese? anyways for the rest they still try to have a zero meat diet period. Mcdonalds fries were thought to be vegan (whether or not mcdonalds claimed this, I do not know). When it was found out that beef fat was being used, a lawsuit took place.

What we?re talking about (cloned meat) is still in the realm of eating meat; since this meat is identical quality wise to the normal meat you would find at the best of restaurants, there is no reason for a label. All a label will do is serve as another tool by the religious right to use against cloning, and hurt any companies who have invested deeply in the cloning process.
