As a dairy farmer (albeit goat dairy) I'd want nothing to do with this animal, or any one like her. Unless the processor could get 2 or 3 times the amount of money per pound for the milk (and remember, in the US milk has to have price supports anyway) these animals would be a liability to the average farm.<br/>My most recent post at <a HREF="http://permanentlc.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Permanent Low Carber </a> explains my thinking on this in a little more depth.<br/>Thanks, Jimmy, for bringing this up.

Thanks, Jimmy, for bringing this up. I’ll be watching Marge and ViaLacta’s herd of mutant cows!

Even at best, let's just say this low-fat milk was problem free, the lack of fat within is still going to cause a slightly higher spike in blood sugar than would say, pure whole milk or cream, right?<br/>Adam I have to agree with all of you–this just doesn’t feel right to me.

What a spectacular improvement, that we are now able to force Nature itself to produce useless products! Quite some achievement!<br/><br/>As far as I am concerned, he can take the "other desirable benefits" of his Frankenstein-milk and subsequently store it in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

People groan and complain about eating things that aren't natural, then they go messing with animals genes, which isn't natural.. no matter how they word it. Personally, I’m not impressed.
