Without the inherent biodiversification of Natural births, it's very likely that the countless cloned animals will all share a genetic vulnerability to some new disease or pathogen floating around the world and wipe out our foodstocks overnight. Plus, the cloning process itself might make sickly animals prone to all kinds of such contagions already out there in the world. Ideally, it would enable them to mass-produce cows, chickens etc. of the most meat category, but the system wasn't broke, it did not NEED fixing.
