FDA Approves
Food from Clones
Tell the Grocery Stores
You Won't Buy
It
With the FDA failing to protect consumers from cloned meat, it is time to take the fight to the grocery stores.
The FDA may have given the go ahead for cloned meat to hit the shelves by lifting the ban on cloned meat, but that doesn't mean we have to accept cloned meat in our stores.
Grocery stores will only stock cloned meat if it is profitable for them, and together we can make sure that it isn't. Sign the petition below, and let the grocery stores know that you intend to exercise your power as a consumer and vote with your pocketbook.
