Wallaby milk

Would you rather eat this or drink its milk??
Wallabies to join fight against super bugs. :

"Researchers from the Department of Primary Industries were examining wallaby milk when they discovered it contained a compound 100 times more effective than penicillin.

Victorian Agriculture Minister Bob Cameron says it could be a real breakthrough in treating disease-causing bacteria."

I blogged a while agao about how they were going to try and get us to eat wallabies. Not sure why. Maybe it was to help keep the populations under control. I wasn't aware we had to many, but in Australia we run this weirdo population yoyo with native species. Sometimes we have too many in one area, and then others in other areas are threatened because of the clearing and development. ( Development???) Anyway, maybe we'll not have to eat the wallabies now. Maybe they'll just provide us with supermilk to keep all the bugs at bay. I love modern scientists. They look at everything with their brains on alert. What a fantastic find.
