Answers:
They can be either kosher or halal!. The rules governing both are from very ancient religions law!. They do not include genetic modification as a criteria!.
If the meat industry ever started widespread, extensive genetic modification or cloning, it's possible that religious authorities would interpret the ancient laws to forbid such things!. It is very doubtful this would ever happen for vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
