More Milk News...

 Genetically modified cows produce 'human' milk

The insanity is increasing beyond all conceivable proportions. Now the mad scientists are trying to improve on nature by making cows produce human milk. Where will all of this lead? Eventually, we know the result will be 'human beings' dumber than animals. Well, let me rephrase that since a case can be made that we have already met that benchmark. The conclusion is described in the 12th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam:

By the time the age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varnashrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of sudras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual hermitages will be no different from mundane houses, and family ties will extend no further than the immediate bonds of marriage. Most plants and herbs will be tiny, and all trees will appear like dwarf sami trees. Clouds will be full of lightning, homes will be devoid of piety, and all human beings will have become like asses. At that time, the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will rescue eternal religion. 12.2.12-16

Other parts of the predictions of Kali have already come to pass. These include such things as:

In Kali-yuga, wealth alone will be considered the sign of a man's good birth, proper behavior and fine qualities. And law and justice will be applied only on the basis of one's power. Men and women will live together merely because of superficial attraction, and success in business will depend on deceit. Womanliness and manliness will be judged according to one's expertise in sex, and a man will be known as a brähmaëa just by his wearing a thread. A person's spiritual position will be ascertained merely according to external symbols, and on that same basis people will change from one spiritual order to the next. A person's propriety will be seriously questioned if he does not earn a good living. And one who is very clever at juggling words will be considered a learned scholar. A person will be judged unholy if he does not have money, and hypocrisy will be accepted as virtue.

Marriage will be arranged simply by verbal agreement, and a person will think he is fit to appear in public if he has merely taken a bath. A sacred place will be taken to consist of no more than a reservoir of water located at a distance, and beauty will be thought to depend on one's hairstyle. Filling the belly will become the goal of life, and one who is audacious will be accepted as truthful.

He who can maintain a family will be regarded as an expert man, and the principles of religion will be observed only for the sake of reputation. As the earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever among any of the social classes shows himself to be the strongest will gain political power. Losing their wives and properties to such avaricious and merciless rulers, who will behave no better than ordinary thieves, the citizens will flee to the mountains and forests. Harassed by famine and excessive taxes, people will resort to eating leaves, roots, flesh, wild honey, fruits, flowers and seeds. Struck by drought, they will become completely ruined. The citizens will suffer greatly from cold, wind, heat, rain and snow. They will be further tormented by quarrels, hunger, thirst, disease and severe anxiety. 12.2.2-10

These conditions are being brought about by the extreme influence of tamo-guna, the quality of ignorance that destroys intelligence for doing good. Instead, people act against their own best interests thinking that they are somehow improving their situation. Genetic modification of life forms will create much havoc in this world. When questioned about dinosaurs Srila Prabhupada replied that that is not what we have come from but what we are going to! In the 70s we couldn't quite understand that statement, but now, 40 years later, we can see that this genetic modification can indeed create dinosaurs. In fact, some scientists have tried to extract genetic material from dinosaur remains, and it should not surprise us if indeed they attempt to create T-rex as a zoo attraction, and we have a live version of Jurassic Park. Such people are referred to as mayayaparita-jnana in the Bhagavad-gita -- those whose knowledge is stolen by illusion.

These foolish people, acting under the influence of atheism, think that this world was created by chance combination of chemicals and that they can improve on it. In fact it was created by the most intelligent scientist, the Supreme Lord Himself. He created the cow and the bull to be the helpers of human beings, and He has made cows milk as the most precious substance to develop the brain tissues giving superior intelligence. Now they want to destroy what the Lord has given and with that they begin to destroy their own future. Such is the nature of Kali-yuga. These people need to be stopped before they irrevocably destroy everything good about this planet. The best way to raise the society out of the depths of tamo-guna is by harinam sankirtan, or chanting the holy names of the Supreme Lord. There is actually no solution without a spiritual revolution.

Here is more of the GM milk story:

Scientists have created genetically modified cattle that produce "human" milk in a bid to make cows' milk more nutritious.


The scientists have successfully introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows to produce milk with the same properties as human breast milk.

Human milk contains high quantities of key nutrients that can help to boost the immune system of babies and reduce the risk of infections.

The scientists behind the research believe milk from herds of genetically modified cows could provide an alternative to human breast milk and formula milk for babies, which is often criticised as being an inferior substitute.

They hope genetically modified dairy products from herds of similar cows could be sold in supermarkets. The research has the backing of a major biotechnology company.

The work is likely to inflame opposition to GM foods. Critics of the technology and animal welfare groups reacted angrily to the research, questioning the safety of milk from genetically modified animals and its effect on the cattle's health.

But Professor Ning Li, the scientist who led the research and director of the State Key Laboratories for AgroBiotechnology at the China Agricultural University insisted that the GM milk would be as safe to drink as milk from ordinary dairy cows.

He said: "The milk tastes stronger than normal milk.

“We aim to commercialize some research in this area in coming three years. For the “human-like milk”, 10 years or maybe more time will be required to finally pour this enhanced milk into the consumer’s cup.”

Can you believe this? And at the same time there is a great amount of propaganda to discourage women from breast feeding their babies. So get ready...we have about ten years to prepare to have our own cows that give wholesome A2 milk. Thank God!

Actually, all of these genetically modified foods are being created to reduce the birth rate and that is why they are being foisted on the public despite the strong resistance. More on that later.
