Dairy Today commissioned a study that found 33% of Americans would never buy milk again if they learned that it could possibly come from cloned cows.
But the survey can be and is spun by the industry magazine as “good news” for big Farma:
The results also show that people are not automatically rejecting products from cloned animals, and that they are open to learning more about it, he says. And the more people learn about it, the more comfortable they are.
From the point of view of Dairy Today’s Jim Dickrell,
If the FDA does indeed determine that the milk is the same, then I dont think we would have any further reservations, says Chris Galen, National Milk Producers Federation spokesperson. If FDA says something wishy-washy, well have problems because it raises doubts in consumers minds.
