| 553698 | 2007-05-27 22:23:00 | www.stuff.co.nz I'm not normally concerned about this sort of stuff, but it occurred to me if they start breeding them all like this, what happens to all the calves? The cows milk is intended to feed their babies, and the wrong mix wouldn't do them any ghood at all. And then what? |

As someone who spent some of their youth cranking the handle of a separator dealing with Jersey milk, I thought Friesian milk had to be enriched to be graded as skim milk? (However it is probably ideal for putting in cafe coffee - the modern Claytons.) |

Perhaps they will feed them milk from blue top cows? I'm concerned about whether we can trust these scientists. They say the cow had a "natural gene mutation". Well what sort of harm might this gene mutation have on us a bit down the track? They don't know what GE modified foods might do to us one day so how is this any different, even if it was "natural"? |

There is a slight problem in that the ending may be good for undertakers, but the rules have been obeyed. Natural mutations must naturally be good too. AIDS and Bird flu are natural mutations, and just look how good they have been for large drug companies. |

They'll be extinct because everyone will have grown green top cows, as the food police tell us, all fat is bad so there won't be any . And of course then all the calves will be dead from malnutrition, oooops, that didn't work did it . Sheep milk anyone? |

| 553703 | 2007-05-28 04:41:00 | Who needs "breakthroughs"? You can make milk green all through, not just the top, from any milk . Just leave it a few weeks. | Graham L (2) | ||

Blue top cows won't go extinct - they'll be "niche cows", providing real milk (well, real milk is actually silver-top cows, but let's not split udders) to make real cheese and other milk products.... Besides, nothing wrong with a bit of sheep's milk: lambs love it! :) |
