It seems that Scientists will be serving up leaner beef, tastier cheddar and healthier ketchup. Just ask Rena Marie Pacella over at Popular Science.

According to her, if the biotech industry has it's way, ordering hamburger might soon sound something like this: "one charbroiled cloned-beef patty, with genetically modified cheese, lab-grown bacon and vitamin-C-fortified lettuce, on a protein-spiked bun." Basically, the burger of the future is delicious, nutritious and contains more engineering than a stealth bomber. With the Food and Drug Administration ruling in January that meat and milk from cloned cows, pigs, goats and their offspring is safe to eat, the only thing keeping the superburger off your dinner plate is time.

Hey, I'm a pro-science gal .. but in this case it seems to me that the only people who benefit from cloned meat is the manufacturer. Why do we need to clone? Are we all of a sudden short on cows and pigs?
