Yoghurt question

[2BullyMama]

Oh on a lighter note. If you fail the first few times attempting to make curd at home don't worry.
Befriend an Indian or Pakistani and ask them how they make it at home.
We are everywhere in N. America, W. Europe, Australia and S. Africa

A lady from India works with my boyfriend that told him she does it on a regular basis... never buys yogurt, she always makes her own

At $5 a week for both my guys, I just get the greek yogurt and it saves me the hassle of making it, but I'm lazy! I'd like some more information on the biproduct waste of greek vs. any other gurt'.

We use plain jane yogurt. Not greek. I am not a super save the planet eco freak by any means but the production process for greek yogurt creates 3 ounces of toxic waste for every 1 ounce of yogurt. Lol

Hmm.... I found these articles

Benefits Of Greek Yogurt Do Not Include Its Whey Byproduct: New Solutions Turn Waste Into Money

After reading just these three articles I don't think it is going to stop me eating the small amount of Greek Yoghurt I do eat, and Monty usually has Kefir which is high in probiotics.

Nah. That wasn't my intentions by any means. Just putting info out there on why I chose not to use Greek yogurt is all.

Oh I understand, believe me. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of things have a downside. Slurry from pig farms, waste water from poultry processing just to name a couple. The trouble is I love pork roast and I eat a lot of chicken. Where do you draw the line....

Athletes around the wordl use this whey, so it can not be that bad....you can even make your own bread dough in to that...

I think it's called acid whey in those articles just to make it sound bad. Sour whey is more accurate.
