Study: Cloned meat, milk nearly the same

As...?

We were expecting cloned beef to taste like maybe chicken and cloned milk (shouldn't that be "milk from cloned animals"?) to taste like new Coke?

I'm not sure--it's kinda like that Diet Dr. Pepper ad that says it tastes MORE like regular Dr. Pepper. More like regular than what, exactly? Tires? Worm medicine?

As long as they're not cloned together, I'm OK.

Actually it's the "essentially" I'm concerned about.

Smart Scientist Guy: "Well, other than the steak's occasional attempts to rob banks and hijack trains, the meat's basically the same."

"oh, and the milk has decided to be a Wiccan and only eat holistically grown soy burgers. Other than that, they're exactly like regular meat & milk."

Hey, as long as smart scientist guys say it's okay, I'm on board.

I work with "smart science guys" and am not so sure I want to jump on board just yet.
