BEIJING - Chinese scientists have genetically modified dairy cows to produce human breast milk, and hope to be selling it in supermarkets within three years. The milk produced by the transgenic cows is identical to the human variety, with the same immune-boosting and antibacterial qualities as breast milk, scientists at China's Agricultural University in Beijing said. The milk is still undergoing safety tests, but with government permission it will be sold to consumers as a more nutritious dairy drink than cow's milk. Workers at the university's dairy farm have already tasted the milk -- and said it is sweeter and stronger than the bovine variety..."It's good," said worker Jiang Yao. "It's better for you because it's genetically modified."
Fucking gross...China, leading the league in inventions that no one would ever want anything to do with. At least when America was a young and up and comping economy we invented cool things, like electricity and television. What the hell are we supposed to do with this shit?
There's a reason kids graduate from breast milk to McDonalds milk cartons as fast as they can...it's because breast milk is icky. So thanks a lot China, real cool, I guess...
