Dear General Mills,
It has come to my attention that the FDA is planning to allow milk and meat from cloned animals and their
offspring into the food supply, without labels. I am highly concerned about this, since cloning is associated
with a tremendous amount of animal suffering, and cloned foods have not been convincingly shown to be safe to consume.
On your website, you state that you will "never knowingly or willfully undermine that trust" that consumers place
in General Mills. As such, I hope that you will be responsive to my concerns. Please do everything you can to
make sure that products from cloned animals and their offspring do not appear in my grocery stores, restaurants,
or pet foods. Cloning is cruel and unnecessary.
Sincerely,
