Ayurveda on cloned meat and dairy
Just this Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared that healthy clones of cows, pigs and goats are safe for human consumption.
The whole purpose behind these cloning experiments is to improve the DNA of the animal. The ultimate goal: Healthier meat and dairy products. The realistic result: Who knows?
As Senator Barbara Mikulski put it in a written statement: "The FDA has acted recklessly and I am profoundly disappointed in their rush to approve cloned foods."
"Thorough" testing has included only 600 cloned animals. 570 of them are cattle. I guess 30 pigs and goats was enough of a trial run to deem them safe..
An Ayurvedic Perspective
Of course, in ancient times, cloning wasn't an issue. So there are no specific comments made on the science of cloning in the Ayurvedic text books.
On the other hand, Ayurveda is a live science, and alive today. We can apply that knowledge to determine whether something is wholesome for the human body.
As of Tuesday, we have these new, genetically modified meats and dairy products approved for the general public. These foods have undergone changes at a genetic level. That's a fact... or they wouldn't have bothered cloning them in the first place. They are trying to improve livestock so that it grows faster, tastes better, produces more milk... whatever.
(It's amusing and scary to note, that when passing these new life forms the FDA states that "there is no material difference between them and food produced by conventional methods." Hypocrisy! On the other side of this gold coin opportunity, they state that the cloned breeds are healthier and stronger. The same thing happened with GMO crops. It got passed by the FDA because it wasn't "different." Then it gets patented because it's totally unique.)
They may be very good changes. Let's assume they are for a minute (which is a BIG assumption). The main issue, however, that if these new foods on the market, consumers from all the natural night to the new and improved.
These new foods may Flight Throw Your Body in a fight or fashion
From the Ayurvedic point of view, these changes are too fast. Puts a toll on the body. Throw in high-adrenal "fight-or-" flight state.
I do not know how these new genetic codes to those used to influence. Especially for a long time.Particularly as the genetic modification as a science today is arbitrary. Change is usually performed DNA by "shooting" into new areas, with the help of a virus of E. coli. E 'rather primitive. You can make positive improvements to DNA damage and in this process, strange changes.
We are brass with genes at the microscopic level. We have no idea what kind of chronic stress that is put on our physiology and animal physiology. And if that the distribution of cloned foodin our body, which becomes part of our body.
Far too many unknowns
In short, there are simply too many unknowns out of something that is a very complex issue. You have not even tried a 1000 animals and is already approved for human consumption. Most of the analysis of meat and dairy products do in laboratories. Are superficial review of aspects such as nutrient content.
The actual experiment started, when clonedAnimals produce offspring and these offspring will start showing people of dining tables. If you are in Canada, then you're lucky, meat and dairy products have been cloned has not been approved by Health Canada. Europe, however, was the go-ahead.
And there is no marking is required. The only certain way when you eat meat or to buy milk is to go organic. certified organic meat and dairy products are not genetically modified. Of course, to begin crossing takes place, as seen withgenetically modified foods.
You risk contaminating the entire species.
Splicing Up India, the symbol of Nurture
On another note, it affects the idea of cloning and modification of DNA strings Indian cow in my heart. As you know, in India the cow is a symbol of the Divine Mother - the symbol of care for mankind. Cow's milk is considered the sacred food in India, the cow because they are free. All other foods, like fruits andVegetables should be taken at the expense of the plant.
Now we are the nature and splicing their DNA. Scientific Metzger crucify her neurosis on the table.
warm milk chocolate is a universal drink in comfort. Those days are over. The sacred cow and considers the history of milk in Ayurvedic medicine (including ghee) was obscured by the shadow of modern scientific tyranny.
