Have you ever seen what chicken nuggets are made from? Kids love them.
I remember an acquaintance years ago who was apolplectic over the use of whey protein in foods. She insisted that it had always been a waste product of food production and finding a use for it was wrong because it meant the food producers were making money off garbage.

According to the experts 5% of American childern go to bed hungry. Whey protin sounds good to me.
