I apologize if I haven't read carefully enough, but what is dangerous about the cloned mean?

What kind of genetic modificiation would be dangerous considering that we eat so many different species already and natural genetic variety is present in non-cloned animals?

My main concerns about food safety have to do with food borne pathogens. I'm somewhat less concerned with the healthfulness of my diet, but that's because I expect those effects to be kind of slow, rather than something I'm going to experience based on eating something one time.

What could be introduced into clone meats that wouldn't be even more likely to be present in bred meat, in terms of viruses, mad cow, etc?

What changes could be introduced into clones meat that wouldn't also be able to be introduced through breeding?
All of the food will mutate cause you and your children to grow funky appendages. You will all contract Mad Cow, or the appropriate prion based disease of the cloned animal you consume. (Mad Cow isn't viral, at least as far as anyone can tell. )


Clearly you and everyone you love will die.
