Got Cloned Meat? Response!

1) This message was created by the New York Post
2) I would have to say that the most creative thing that Andy Soltis does to attract my attention is mention that the meat that I could be eating could be from a clone...and I would never know it. I saw the word CLONED, and I had to see what it was. I believe that the headline is quite clever too.
3) I'm pretty sure that this article couldn't be understood any differently. The headline says "Feds haven't got a beef with cloned meat," followed by "clone meat is as safe as any other." This obviously means that the government doesn't frown upon the distribution and digestion of cloned meat products.
4)The values that were not exactly omitted, but not focused on are the views of the people who are against the distribution of cloned meat. There are just two little paragraphs at the end, and I might add that the point that was made in the end is a very valid point.
5)This message is being sent to inform the public about cloned meat. the idea that labs don't have to label cloned meat doesn't seem all that fair in my book. I'm not sure if I want to eat something that was CREATED in a lab. At first this seems a bit unsettling, but it could mean an end to a food crisis. I believe that that is why this message was created. To inform.

    Ben,

    1) Created by the New York Post, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same guy who owns Fox News... Do you think the Post or Fox News gets any ad revenue from the meat industry?

    2) The lead and the headline are definitely effective... even if they are cheesy and misleading.

    3) Vegetarians might disagree with you...

    4) The actual reasons why cloned meat might be a problem are completely ignored in this article. No opposing views are quoted or articulated.

    5) Do you think the Post or Fox News gets any ad revenue from the meat industry? If this article was meant to inform, it would be more balanced. This article is meant to mislead.
