Scientists at San Francisco-based biotech start-up Muufri -- (get it, moo free?) -- have developed a formula to re-create cow milk: six proteins for structure and function and eight fatty acids for flavor and richness, according to Muufri’s website.
The milk product is also free of lactose and cholesterol and because it’s created in a lab, its seen as a sustainable alternative to traditional dairy cattle operations.
According to Muufri, lactose is “partially indigestible by 75 percent of adults,” so the decision to leave it out creates a healthier product. Founders of Muufri, Ryan Pandya, Perumal Gandhi and Isha Datar, claim the milk will be free of all bacteria, giving their milk an “unprecedentedly long shelf life” with no pasteurization required.

Big fad with big market...and of course....more expensive.
Moo moo milk tastes like crap to me
My kids love it
I like soy milk. In particular Silk
I drank moo moo. Tons as a kid
My favorite statelment on the subject
A baby cow is supposed to gain 500 lb in the first year of life
Another good quote
The 2% crap is water that a blue cow walked through !
Finally.
There is NO I REAPEQT NO SUBSTITUTE
for REAL CREAM. AND CHEESE
OK. /. Rant off
$3.25+/gal. here in central CA.
Damn, that’s a good deal. I’ve been to Pocatello, nice town.
There are times I could eat a whole milk chocolate cow.
I agree with that sentiment...bottom line, I don’t eat enough butter to adversely affect my health in any significant way.
What, on my death bed, will I say “I should have eaten butter instead...it just tastes better...”?
Bring your own glass jugs and its $2.00/gal at the dairy about 7 miles out of town. Straight out of the cow then into the chill tank. Open the spigot for creamy goodness.
As well you should; my son.
Worse than that: DEATH!!!
The obits are FULL of folks who have eaten processed food; and NOW look at the results!!!
It ranks right up there with the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide!!!
Similar here in Indiana.
I've NO idea how FLA gets away with what they can charge for milk down there!
There sure isn’t THAT much difference between what the farmers get for their raw milk at the dairy!
SOMETHING is being price fixed somewhere!!

She also produces fertilizer for the garden and an offspring who turns grass into beef.
Dairy is price fixed by the government and the price, which is set by your local dairy compact, is different from region to region.
There is also the price of energy for processing, the cost of energy for transportation, the wages of those who do the processing, the wages of those who do all the paperwork required by the state and the cost of the food grade resin that they use to blow the bottle.
That last is a big part of the cost of your milk. Anywhere from a third to a half.
Which is why buying milk as two half gallons will cost more then buying it by the gallon.
Now you know far more then you ever wanted to about the pricing of dairy.
Fake milk will be served with the Soylent Green wafers to all.
NOTHING - imho - justifies a 3 to 1 price difference across regions like this.
Why are there no bootleg milk trucks?
a MUCH greater price differential ‘tween Indiana and Florida for milk than cigarette taxes!!
