As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet，they are choosing animal-free plant-based options.Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands of the cultivated meat is rising.While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes，none of them have the same taste of cow's milk.Now，a food-tech company created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
   The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal.And it is very healthy.The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold.They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. "Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce -our food because，as dairy lovers，we realize that giving up on milk is not an option，" John said. "But today's milk comes with an unreasonable price tag.The dairy industry is destructive to our planet，our health，and our animals，and is simply not sustainable （可持續(xù)的） anymore."
   The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high.According to the World Wildlife Fund，dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and-contribute to global warming and climate change as well as pollute the air around them.Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure（糞肥） and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways.The production uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow's milk according to the company.And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
