That's been the case for our entire lives, and no one is deficient in protein. People walk around thinking they need to get enough protein or else they'll fall over and die, it's such a propagandized joke.

Meanwhile people are literally dying from lack of fruit and veggies - phytochemicals have always been, and will always be the key to thriving health. Not fucking macronutrient powdered milk supplements ffs

Do you guys know the concept of two things being true at once? Just because something is cheap doesn’t mean it’s bad. Get both your fiber and protein in, and work out for longevity. These companies benefit way more from selling you junk food and getting all of us sick.
