Genetic modification, would any of you actually want to drink this stuff?

As long as they got rid of the metallic, stripper-pole taste, I'm good.

why do you know what a stripper pole tastes like?

 

[Loosenut]

I wouldn't exactly call the Chinese government humanitarian or environmentalists...

Why the sudden change in philosophy or moral values? Maybe to increase and strengthen their population for new lands or territories? Idk...

no comment


we still get 2%? haha

Since it's China I'd be more concerned about it being contaminated with sewage and packaged in lead cans. (source)

Interesting concept actually, if it's been done properly then this stuff will be much better for us to drink.

And people with lactose intolerance can have it : ]

no i think lactose intolerance affects all kinds of milk, its because most animals can't digest milk as an adult, but when humans decided to start keeping animals those who could drink the milk were more likely to survive and the gene spread to most people in America/Europe(and a large amount of the populations in asia and africa) that let them drink milk as adults

(i could be wrong, i think it was QI that told me this)

It would be weird if the same people who start taking and promoting this milk on the basis that it's "more natural" than formula for babies or better for kids/adults in general would be the same ones protesting on how bad are GMO's in other foods...

Seems your right

I saw this on tv and had to fight the urge to gag!
In the end it's like sucking some stranger's b**b, just that the someone is a cow... LITERALLY!

no thats what normal milk is like, this is like sucking the b**b of someone who is a cow/person hybrid

 

[Black Panther]

Nope, it's only like ice-cream. i.e. sweeter and more delicious than your normal cereal-guy milk

 

[inferKNOX]

No but think about it; normally you're drinking milk and eating meat and stuff of... animals, now you're eating animals meat and drinking a stranger's breast-milk.
Now personally, if I'm to try out breast-milk, nothing but the original source will do. I should potentially have a physical attraction to that source... and beastiality is not my thing, LOL!

 

[Disparia]

Sorry, only soy or human boob for me.

 

[inferKNOX]

All I can picture is sucking a (pretty) chic's b**b... then the image of cow pops into my mind!
That's disturbing for 2 reasons:
1) I don't know if I'd want to suck milk out of a chic's b**b in the 1st place!
2) when the cow comes into the pic it's like being pro beastiality!

+ I'm married, so it'd be sort of like cheating!

Brrrrr... scary and disturbing!

I can think of a type of breast milk more natural yet than genetically modified cow milk...

 

[cadaveca]

Unless the cow consumes the same diet as we do, and derives the nutrients from the same sources, it'll NEVER be the same.


Go ahead, tell yourself it's the same thing, if it makes ya feel better. Its NOT any more natural than powdered formula, IMHO.

 

[Hayder_Master]

LOL, kides will no more saying maaaa they become saying MOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Eh?


So it's fine and dandy drinking milk from a cow, but when the cow produces milk that is more like human milk it's sick? lol

Humans are strange creatures.


Drinking from a cow in the first place is the weird thing : p

I don't drink milk, myself. I do not think anyone else should either. I'm not a cow, I don't need cow milk. I agree with you, 100%.

Thing is, there are very few good, reliable sources of calcium, like milk is, so in a way, it's needed, in some situations. They also ADD(usually A and D) vitamins to milk to help prevent vitamin defficiencies, however, proper diet can replace all of those things.

Didn't know soy has boob.

I drink it myself, was just pointing out that it is wierd for us to drink the lactate of another animal, or to eat it's solidified lactate that technically has gone bad.

Interesting fact about calcium, it's known as a "competitive mineral" (actually most minerals are competitive but calcium is easy to load up on) and can make you ill if you have to much of it, will also slow down the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

by that logic its weird to eat Takeaways as i don't think we are really supposed to soak our food in oil, people eat Milk and dairy because it tastes nice

 

[AphexDreamer]

So wait they take a human female DNA correct?

Then do they just reuse that same Humans DNA?

So in essence it would be like everyone is drinking this girls tit milk just that she didn't make it a cow made it for her?

Spoiler

Enjoy your sweet human tasting produced from cow milk.
