"Greek yogurt is low in calories, high in protein, and generally delicious. What's not to like? How about this: The production of Greek yogurt creates a nasty byproduct called "acid whey."" - Harold

Whey is a natural consequence of any cheese-making or yogurt-making process. They make it sound like it's toxic waste. I think the problem here is merely that it's being produced on an industrial scale and so they wonder what they can do with it when they're producing it in that amount. I don't know enough about the chemistry but I'd imagine it could be added to compost. In any case, even regular yogurt has whey as a byproduct of its manufacture. Greek yogurt only has more as a byproduct because more of it is being strained off....that's why Greek yogurt is so thick. Less water/whey in it. - Spidra Webster

Acid whey is reportedly harder to dispose of/repurpose than sweet whey, which cheesemaking produces. http://modernfarmer.com/2013... - Andrew C (✔)

I don't want to believe that! It can not harm anything :( - Anil Tortop
