If the thought of eating cloned meat doesn't appeal to you, make sure you're buying only pasture-raised meats.
In January of this year, the USDA officially defined "naturally raised" livestock as being raised:
without growth promotants (including growth hormones)
without animal byproducts in feed
without antibiotics (except for parasite-reducing ionophores)
While these three prohibitions are important, the USDA's definition doesn't address whether the animal came from cloned or genetically engineered stock, the environment in which it was raised (pastured or confined), or the type of feed it received (pesticide-free or pesticide-ridden grain).
Protect yourself by looking for "pasture-raised" and "grass-fed" and "organic." Visit the EatWild website for a directory of companies you can trust (e.g., U.S. Wellness Meats).
