“Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey.” This was how Teresa Crook opened up the youth session at the 2010 Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference in Frankenmuth, MI earlier this month. Crook explained what whey protein is and where whey protein can be found.

Interestingly, whey protein can be found in oatmeal, hot chocolate, pudding, Doritos, protein bars, Cheez whiz and more! It’s amazing just how much dairy cattle impact our daily lives without us even knowing it! Crook’s youth seminar was a hit because she had taste samples of all of her products in the speech! Definitely a crowd pleaser!

Celeste Laurent and myself followed Crook’s presentation with our own segment in the youth program. Stop back for an update on our session!
