Doug Thomas (left) and his father, Harold, demonstrated how to puff low fat cheese curds by using the muffler on an old Allis-Chalmers tractor on their farm in Barneveld, Wisconsin. If Iowa County farmers Harold and Doug Thomas have anything to say about it, it won't be long before a dairy snack food joins the others on grocery store shelves. The father and son team hold a patent to a "low-calorie dairy snack product" and have at least two companies interested in mass producing and marketing the invention. The dairy snack food, call it a puff or a chip, was actually the brainchild of Walter Thomas, Harold's brother, who died in March 1987 at the age of 67.
