Your Greek Yogurt is killing children
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."

Can it be made into whey protein? Then we can put it in smoothies and save the children.0

I don't understand the fad of Greek yogurt. I'm sure it will go away soon in the meantime we can stick it on a train to Nevada and they can dump it where they dump nuclear waste...0 -

I am surprised they aren't teaming up with a bread manufacturer. You can use whey to make yummy bread, you just replace the water with it.0

Holy Crow. I am so tired of EVERYTHING being dangerous. I can't keep track of all the things I consume each day that are problematic. :sick:0

I know how you handle the part no one will take. Just like muffin stumps when people only want the tops.
