If the last affair you want in your Milk River ismilk , your false - food desire are about to be met . Scientists atMuufriare developing Milk River made without animal protein — and without brute at all . This is n’t a addict milk , like almond or cashew , that you ’ve experience in the foodstuff store or made in your kitchen . It ’s vegan milk that savour just like milk with the consistency of Milk River , made with proteins and fatty Elvis derived from research lab work .
I do n’t need to order you what to drink , but I am an counsel for food made by farmers , not by scientist . I wanted to blog about Muufri because a product like this addresses so many ag and food outcome all at once :
1 . Food Options
At least one of Muufri ’s beginner is a vegan , according tohis bio . perchance vegans drop drinking milk , so this could be a nice selection for them . Muufri also claims it can create milk without lactose , a milk sugar that about 75 percent of the world ’s universe has sometrouble digesting . Another of Muufri ’s founders is the executive managing director ofNew Harvest , a nonprofit for advancing center and milk production in cell refinement , rather than on the farm . New Harvest is also behind a works - free-base “ burger ” that leaves“plant blood ” on the plateand the vegan , ahi tuna - likeTomato Sushi . ( Read “ What is a Tomato Pisces the Fishes ? ” onTomato Sushi ’s FAQspage for a chortle . )
2 . Animal Agriculture
The Muufri site points out that animal agribusiness presents problems for animal and the environment . I ’m not going to argue with that . Yet I am still going to reach — in moderation — for the sustainably managed , topically produced heart and soul , eggs and dairy over those products made in the science laboratory . Call me crazy . I ’ll side with nurseryman , generator and nutrition professor Joan Dye Gussaw when she said , “ As for butter versus margarine , I trust the cows more than chemists . ”
Muufri posted this photo onInstagram , and it made me throb a little .
Smelly stuff ! In tiny quantity ( and the right-hand ratio ) these will reek and sample just like refreshful cream .

3 . pasteurise vs. Raw Milk
Another compass point made on the Muufri web site is that there is no bacteria in their Milk River - like drinkable . Made in a infertile environs , they do n’t have to worry about the E. coli , listeria ( which just made news with a terriblelisteriosis irruption ) and other bad stuff . This is the major arguing against the legalizationraw Milk River , and Muufri seems to have it under mastery .
I really struggle to get behind bring forth food in a lab when there are sustainable , humanist food - production options on the farm . There is a lot of convinced buzz about Muufri among vegan and animate being - welfare chemical group , though , so they must be doing something right .
We do n’t have to get too frantic / upset about Muufri yet , as the society has n’t herald a mathematical product - freeing engagement . When it is unloosen , am I going to try it ? You depend . Am I snuff it to care it ? Like a kid subconsciously program to not wish Brassica oleracea italica because it ’s green , nope . Or maybe I will like it , but I ’m not going to care drinking it .
