United States approves animal clones as food

This is an interesting development.
Why shouldn't it be safe to eat a cloned animal? Self=self; if the original animal is free of disease, then its clone ought to be, too.
However, I don't see how it could be economical to create cloned animals for consumption, thus it is not likely to happen on a large scale.
