Shake It Up Baby: Protein Powder in America

How it's made

This is a quick video that details the process of making Whey protein powder from the start. 
The origins of protein powder started with a egg based powder that probably tasted awful and was hard to digest. with todays technology,  Whey protein and other forms of protein powder can be mass produced. as the video details, it take a large amount of Whey milk to be processed into Whey powder. Not only is this inefficient for production, but Whey powder isn't necessarily the best form of meal replacement. the only type of milk that the human body should be able to digest is breast milk, which means the digestion of Whey powder difficult for the stomach. the human body should be able to digest a plant based protein powder much easier, such as brown rice, or pea protein.
