Plant-based dairy alternatives have been around for decades. But now, one California company is making real dairy without the cows.

TLDW; chemically printed whey protein molecules, fermented. Tastes pretty close, "97% less CO2 production" (big if true), almost as cheap, will likely be cheaper than the real thing as it scales

    the price is a problem, and i also find that a lot of these products rely too much on ecologically problematic crops such as palm plantations or almonds. sure, the impact of cattle farming is worse, but still, i'd prefer it if alternatives would rely on something else than palm oil.
