Where does one find whey Protein? ? Like, is it something they have at Walmart, or do I have to go elsewhere? I am totally food naive, someone help me! :w00t:

Oooh!!! macaroni and cheese is my gateway food! If I eat it, I go off my diet in a big way. I'm going to try this...but with rice Pasta, rice Protein and soy cheese instead. Thanks for the inspiration!!
