And free plastic!
Then again, plastic too.
I was taken aback when I saw the new Doritos Protein.
You can wash them down with a Protein Pepsi!
Where is the protein coming from. It's insects isn't it?
In my experience it's nearly always whey protein unless otherwise specified
Soy and beef sectors, both of which have metastasized as a knock-on effect of oil crop subsidies.
You see, we subsidize the farming of soy because as a source of industrial oil, it's a cash crop. But most of the plant isn't valuable to this end, so the ruffage ends up getting used as ultra-cheap cattle feed, which results in more cattle farming (Which we already subsidize, too). And grocery shoppers will pay more for soy crisps than farmers will pay for ruffage, so it also floods store shelves. Soy and beef are both relatively high-protein products, so advertising begins emphasizing protein content.
Soy is also the easiest mass farmed nitrogen fixer. If anything we should be growing more soy and less maize.
Less maize and replace it with a wider variety of edible crops intended for domestic food consumption. Beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts, alfalfa are all nitrogen fixers. We already have more soy than we know what to do with, it's insane.
So insect protein is next year, when we can't afford fertiliser anymore?
If you can't grow plants you can't raise bugs, either.
Well, fuck.
Well, fuck.
Nonsense, Doritos© Chitanium Edition are made with all-natural chitin powder and comply with more than half of FDA regulations!
I just saw protein poptarts at the store yesterday.
Whey used to be considered an industrial waste byproduct of cheese making.
Never been worse? I dunno, but I think there were many worse times lol. WW2, for example
we are literally entering ww3 lol
Try our new protein cigarettes! Healthy but not…
Protein is the new gluten free.
Now that there is protein in everything we can finally torture animals for fun
