Not to mention what is deemed "edible" (in any animal) by one culture isn't
necessarily true for all. I happen to love steak & (beef) kidney pie. I
haven't seen kidneys even at the few remaining private butcher shops in the
Memphis area in years and years. This isn't genetically altered meat; it's
cloned animals. Been coming for a long, long time.

In the last couple of decades there's been this trend of leaner pork. I
happen to think they are messing with genetics since I never saw a skinny
hog until fairly recently. But the point is, label or no label, if I don't
want to eat it I don't have to.
