“I reject the notion that the FDA or anyone else should force Americans to accept and consume any product that can be manufactured in a lab, no matter how offensive the product is.” Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D. Md)


“I reject the notion that the FDA or anyone else should force Americans to accept and consume any product that can be manufactured in a lab, no matter how offensive the product is. The public needs to insist that the FDA treat the public fairly. If cloned food is safe, let it onto the market, but give consumers the information they need to avoid these products. Americans must be able to speak with their dollars and choose the food they have confidence is safe.”
This quote is part of Senator Barbara Mikulski’s (D. Md) January 31st Senate floor statement announcing the filing of the Federal Cloned Food Labeling Act (S. 414).
