Should a label indicating it is from a cloned animal be required or not? The current administration is very pro-business as is usually the case for Republican administrations. It is unlikely that a president from a state that produces a lot of beef will have any input other than to say that the FDA is an independent agency (and they are as independent as political appointees can be).
