Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
So, it's safe to eat clones -- even if they're made from Jango Fett? Oh, sorry: Says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about a ton of evidence-supporting docs released yesterday, "meat and milk from cow, pig, and goat clones and the offspring of any animal clones are as safe as food we eat every day." Only, hold up: Meat processor Tyson Foods, Inc. insists it ain't heading down that road, nor is Dallas-based dairy distribution giant Dean Foods. They both say they won't go clone ... not yet, anyway. From The Los Angeles Times: "Dean and other firms could tap anti-clone sentiment by marketing clone-free products." Really, isn't this how the Republic fell? --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
