Agreed:

from a famous Gifu bull known for his delicious buttery marbled-textured meat
ready to go into the grill. Actually, the last part would be impossible, as Japanese law expressly prohibits cloned animals to get into the food chain again.
That's just WRONG!

Yasufuku-go, the name of the prized bull, had his testicles frozen 13 years ago. The team of researches and the Kinki University in Osaka were able to extract living cells from frozen meat, which according to project leader Teruhiko Wakayama "means we can clone cows using frozen beef sold at supermarkets."

I wonder how one enrolls at "Kinki University". Sounds.... fun. :)

So I take it this is more of a "cold beef injection"? :laugh:

A yes, good old Yasufuku "Frozen Testicles" -go, the ultimate blue ball bull.

Everyone loves his buttery, marble-textured meat.

That's just WRONG!

How the hell do you stop something from getting into the food chain? Blast it into space? Even if the cow dies, is cremated and dumped into the ocean, the molecules that make up its body are eventually going to find their way back into another organism and it will reenter the food chain. If they meant that it was illegal for cloned cows to be fed to humans, why not just say so instead of trying to pass a law that violates the laws of thermodynamics?

Could be bad journalism or bad translating, probably meant human food supply. Since we don't have the japanese text, we don't know.

The Japanese don't need Thermodynamics. Didn't you get the memo?
