Like has anyone else noticed that the protein craze has now phased into selling cheap meat mush sticks as healthy food alternatives at so many paces? You’re gym GNC/vitashop shop, swung by a Sprouts and saw them, hell we got them (the Chomps brand ones) at my freakin’ Hospital. Gotta love red meats and nitrates coming back big time to give everyone CAD by age 40.

    I mean, this is just the standard “Reinventing” of a crappy product into a fancier version to sell to people with too much disposable income

    Like those “healthy” cereals where you spend $8 on 6 oz. of cereal that’s just the same as the usual stuff

        Like that Magic Spoon stuff literally just tastes like a less good version of the normal cereal and it’s only healthier in the sense that you get more vitamins than the regular stuff

          The macros are different, that’s literally the entire point. Some amount of protein is added and that replaces some amount of carbs.

          While keto is bunk, it is a way to sneak in some more (potentially vegan) protein into your diet.
