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. As industrial technology was better developed, so too was the quality and variety of available protein powder. Back in the 1950's the process of making protein  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. this doesn't mean the stomach wont digest Whey once you consume it, it simply means that the digestion of Whey powder difficult is relatively 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.
