Miss Moffett Had Right Idea in Eating Whey
Agricultural byproduct whey, long dumped into waterways, is being repurposed into useful ingredients. After 40 years of study only a third of 24 billion pounds produced yearly had found use, but recent efforts cut waste as USDA ARS markets 42 percent of whey.
