If you’re looking for the sugary sentimentality with which Badu sang “Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop),” you should probably steer clear of everything but the final track and lead single “Honey.” The 11-song album doesn’t give listeners anything to play while jogging on a Sunday afternoon or standing idly in a steamy shower stall.

Last October, the company received the official go-ahead from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to launch its DNA TraceBack system and is currently offering it up to American meat producers and retailers. For the record, Cunningham says he would happily enjoy a steak from a cloned steer, but recognizes there's a "general, unscientific feeling that something that's cloned is getting too close to Frankenstein...
