Wow, is anything sacred anymore?

"The production of Greek yogurt creates a nasty byproduct called "acid whey."

The liquid waste can't be dumped, because it would prove too toxic to the environment, ruining waterways and killing fish, reports Modern Farmer.

But with the Greek yogurt market now worth $2 billion and still growing, it's a problem that's only going to get larger. New York State alone produced 66 million gallons of acid whey in 2011, reports the New York Post.

Now yogurt companies and scientists are trying to find some productive - and preferably profitable - use for acid whey, says Modern Farmer."
