Milk made in laboratories to hit shelves NZ

[llamedos]

A new milk could threaten New Zealand's $17 billion dairy export industry.

Made in the lab from yeast, and due to be on shelves in 2016, it will be a product virtually indistinguishable from cows' milk.

Because it will have the same proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins and minerals, it will also taste the same, according to Perumal Gandhi, co-founder of Californian research and development company Muufri.

But the milk will be able to be made without the typical cholesterol, allergen lactose and bacteria in cows' milk, meaning it will be healthier and won't need to be refrigerated, giving it a much longer shelf-life.

Soon after its introduction, it would become far cheaper than its cow-made rival.

[llamedos]

you know the saying, "no news is good news" it never happens........

 

[multi power]

vegans will love that, untill its found to have some deadly chemical in it that causes cancer in 20 years time

Well let's hope so

 

[llamedos]

I would seem to have the backing of worthy investors, surprised non have you have picked up on the fact it is being developed in Ireland!

 

[llamedos]

Now I have eased you in with the Headline, I will just up the ante with a few quotes from the Muufri website

On Why go animal free.



"Milk from industrially farmed dairy cows carries evidence of industrial animal agriculture. In addition to biological components from the cow like pus, fresh milk contains pesticide residues, feed contaminants, heavy metals, drug residues, and hormones. Milk from sick cows can also contain foodborne pathogens. Many of these contaminants remain even after pasteurization and regulations allow them to be present "within acceptable limits".

"Intensively farmed dairy cows experience many unpleasant events, from artificial insemination, to the early separation of calves from cow, to the slaughter of young male calves.

As herd size increases and animals are crowded together, so do animal health problems. It is not unusual for these cows to be heavily medicated compared to non-intensively farmed animals."

Its GM milk.............inserting DNA into yeast............what's this DNA from ?????

"The Muufri lab in Ireland is now cultivating yeast that is growing milk fats and proteins such as casein, after inserting the DNA instructions for these foods into the yeast's genetic code. They hope to have the first glass to taste in September."

All you need to do is get this story into the Daily Mail et al, and you shouldn't have any worries about this GM Milk in Europe

 

[llamedos]

One of the team behind it, wonder if they may interest a virgin backer too!

 

[grumpy]

that is no threat to the nz dairy industry,what is a threat is they are exporting dairy heifers to china like there is no tomorrow even i can see the flaw in this get rich quick scheme,selling the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg madness.

Never trust any food you couldn't produce yourself or make up yourself from basic ingredients in your own kitchen.

The out look is for India to overtake EU for milk output http://www.oecd.org/site/oecd-faoagriculturaloutlook/

well unless we start a cull there is only a finite amount of food agriculture can produce,science is the salvation of mankind.

debatable

 

[grumpy]

debatable

nothing debatable about it a simple fact the human population is out stripping the resources of the planet,so your left with reducing the number of humans or travel to other planets or develop technology to increase food production.

Totally OT but I consider science keeping folk alive for the sake of it debatable

well eventually they will cure all disease and it is entirely possible to stop ageing process,science is the answer to every thing,but of course the antibiotics and drenchs you use on your sheep,some luddite would have said im no using that stuff as i dont trust scientists
