you want cloned fries with that

Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration announced that the meat and milk produced by cloned cows was of no threat to humans. It took a whole 678 pages to detail the arrival to this decision, but really what you want to know is: so what happens now?

A great question, and one that will allow me to demonstrate just what happens when a new regulation is proposed. See, before the FDA can get cloned cows to fly, the proposed regulation (that's what this is, because the agencies can't make laws, only Congress can do that) must be subject to comments from the public first, and a notice published in the Federal Register (which hasn't actually happened yet). Right now, this regulation is in the comment phase, and that means that the public gets to weigh in on this issue. So go ahead and exercise your right as a citizen of these United States and tell the FDA yay or nay. But do it quick! You've only got 90 days!
