    I knew it wasn’t important for most of us Americans to get more protein, but I’ve been seeing “high protein” stuff being shoveled lately. It confused me. Thanks for the explanation.

      I’m not sold on the effect MAHA is having on this. I see many many left/center-left/center sorts of folks on the protein craze just from normie socials like Instagram. My wife’s Instagram is shoving high protein products, meal prep recipes, etc. at her non-stop and she occupies a very left part of the normie internet. I’m sure MAHA’s influence is non-zero but I think protein is simply the new matcha.

      Yes we did buy 500g of expensive ass matcha from Kyoto and no we have not used more than 10g yet, almost a year later. /sigh
