Fellowes Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Now I don't know anything about cloning. However the other day I was thinking, if they can clone an animal, that is a living thing composed of cells etc. etc. , then is it possible to clone food? Food is composed of cells and such and are living things. Now like I said, I don't know much about this subject and there might be an obvious answer I don't know about, but any answers would of most interest.

Gilded Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Umm... Food is usually plants or animals. You can't really clone "dead" food, such as potato chips since... it's dead, so the cells can't multiply... or split, or whatever that they do when one cell becomes more than one. But sure, you could clone some living cells and then eat them. Yum yum, cloned meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokenMonkey Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Chances are that it'd probably be more expensive to clone the food than to actually grow it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
