*grins* It tastes "sweet" because it tastes like milk. Once upon a time you could get milk from the farm where it was produced. The Govt made that illegal because the big business wanted to control milk. So they made up stuff about diseases (which nobody actually got) so they could make it seem like it had to be controlled. Now... 40 years later... we have the highest level ever of a disease? illness? syndrome? that was never a problem. Lactose intollerance began to be an issue about the same time the Govt decreed we had to pasteurise and homogenise all milk. Turns out, if you kill all the enzymes that come with milk, you turn it into a hazardous product. With all of that, the powdered stuff actually tastes like real milk, while the stuff on the shelves doesn't. YMMV... 😃
