Every food commercial, advertisement, and packaging in the US is currently protein obsessed. I just bought 3 burritos, and the most noticeable thing on the entire package is its protein content. TV commercials about waffles are advertising that they have X amount of protein per serving. The products in my jobsite’s vending machine have protein all over every package.

Did America have a protein thing recently?

    Probably the whole shitty influencer “wellness” trend, but too much protein is actually pretty bad for you.

      Who in this economy is eating too much protein?

      Too much is like 3 large chicken breasts or 5 beef patties per day for a 150lb person.
