Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
Instead it is made from whey proteins produced by microflora engineered to spit out exactly the same proteins found in milk from a cow.
Manufacturer Betterland Foods say it is working on the cow-free milk with Perfect Day, a company formed in 2014 by two vegans looking to find a way to produce tastier animal-free 'milk' products.
The proof will be in the tasting, but this 'milk' is said to have the same "cooking, whipping, steaming, frothing and baking functionality" as regular milk, but with a smaller environmental impact.
