Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I don't know if they can clone waffles, but this was my breakfast today: How old are you? Like 5? That would be just enough food to piss me off! I would need about 4 or 5 of those with a side of eggs and some juice and tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) You sure are documenting your meals thoroughly. Might I ask why?Because me and my friend had a contest on MySpace for who had the best meals. That's two waffles by the way.

westguy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Good news. Rather than relying upon selective breeding methods, now we can just take the biggest and best from the herd and replicate it with consistent results. When we get higher average outputs for the same or lower average inputs in a competitive market, prices will drop.It'll benefit the poor more than the wealthy, though. I fully expect a bunch of elitists with no sympathy for the poor to try and be a roadblock, but hopefully this'll won't get shot down. :closedeyes: I remember a major problem with animal cloning was the deteriorated condition of chromosomes taken from adult cells. Apparently our DNA ages with us or something, so new animals beginning life with our old junk will inherit problems not present at birth. All in all, it makes sense, because no one really knows how we age. I actually wouldn't want to eat products made from animals suffering from health problems caused by premature aging, but it looks like consumers won't have a choice on that one.

So that, everytime a new born came along, you could just grab THOSE DNA cells, and slowly but surely return back to the original animals youthful DNA. However, I haven't heard about the DNA mutating as we get older, or of any species as it gets older. That is interesting, I will do some surfing and read up on that.

Trae Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) It's cheap too. You can get chicken wings and some shrimp fried rice for about $6. Edited December 30, 2006 by Trae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the chicken wings are larger than the ones you get at Frenchy's and Popeyes. I think those wings are infantile in size! No cloning for them!!!!!

Trae Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ya thats true. Even at midnight it was packed because one time we were going to Louisiana and my parents wanted some chicken so we went down I-45 and got to Frency's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I don't think some of you understand WHY they are "cloning" for the meat. You will quite possibly get a consistently GOOD piece of meat, without worry of "Mad Cow" or other hidden factors. They are using cattle DNA from only the strongest in the herds, you know, the cows that tasted the best after being roasted over and open flame, and trying to insure that WE the consumers get a better, healthier piece of meat.Bring on the "clones" and the A1, it's what's for dinner !I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think genetically engineered cows can stop Mad Cow disease, or any other disease that regular cattle get. Unfortunately. I will have to ask hubby about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Mad Cow is spread by other cows eating the meat of infected cows. If you clown a healthy cow and not feed it sick diseased cow parts, it will not get mad cow disease. Make them "corn fed". That solves the problem right there. Dont feed them any meats of any type.

Unfortunately. I will have to ask hubby about that.You're correct. Mad Cow disease is a transmittable disease (sometimes caused by the practice of feeding cows animal byproducts). It is not transferred genetically, and so bears no relationship to cloning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
