[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 335876, member: 5507"] Thanks, J+! I appreciate the answers and compliments. To the OP, are you in the FCA? I was hoping to join or create a natural beef coop through the cattlemen's association. Might be the best way to provide a continuous supply of beef to the consumer. We use permethrins as a pour on and the only place in a cow that retains any of the pesticide residue is the liver. Not sure where the popular idea came from that liver is good for you, (maybe because folks thought since it has such a good blood supply that it would be healthful?), but the truth is, the liver acts like a filter for the body and can actually store toxins to keep them from circulating in the body. So, we discourage people who want the livers from the cattle we sell and explain about the fly control and worming necessary for the animal's health. Figure that will keep them out of trouble. Cloned meat? Well, I don't think it will hurt you directly. However, I don't think it will taste as good as the original animal and the natural variations in amino acid chains won't be there. I'd stay away from it simply because eating too much of the same exact clone all the time will not expose you to the natural variety of proteins that your body needs. Just like you can't live on a pill that contains all known nutrients. Doesn't work for animals and it doesn't work for people. It is highly likely that we do not know all the nutrients that occur in nature so we cannot eat exactly the same thing every day, (or the same clone), because we will be lacking something at the biochemical level. Wow, sorry about the digression. Can you tell that I am studying for a graduate degree in biology? :roll: [/QUOTE]
