Before you jump to conclusions, do not assume that they use it for any 
reason other than the bottom line.  Whey contains a good deal of sugar 
and as it can be had for the cost of picking it up at cheese factories, 
it is a very inexpensive source for sugar, i.e. "energy" for energy bars.

The cheese industry has spent almost as much time and money trying to 
find uses for or disposing of whey as they spend on cheese making.  It 
is a plague to the industry, especially since environmental laws started 
preventing the dumping of it into rivers.
