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?

    Interesting question and answers here. The GLP1 stuff makes sense.

    They don’t tell you about the bioavailability of the proteins though. Waffles or plants among others don’t get utilized by the body as well as protein from meat or whey.
