Clones are safe for food...What's next, pot is legal?

FDA says clones are safe for food - Diet and nutrition- msnbc.com

First of all with all the scandals that have exposed the bankruptcy of the FDA as a regulatory watchdog for average consumers, how can anybody trust what they have to say?
Secondly, I don't even think it matters anymore. I'm almost sure products find their way onto the market through creative labeling that have not even received the FDA's approval yet.
Thirdly, is the FDA really going to side with the consumers in the end against the agro-industrial complex and its lobbyists? Or will they put in place labeling rules so lax that they might as well not exist?
In any case, vegetarianism is sounding more and more appealing to me since I've already done away with eating red meat. There's no telling when I'll make the full switch but it certainly looks like a far more attractive deal to me now than a few years ago.
