    It makes sense when you realize people are dumb. They can charge 50% more for all product that is almost identical with half a cent of protein powder mixed in per bag.

      Oh yes. The marketing people have hit the absolute jackpot on the protein myth, that’s for sure.

      I’m just surprised that Tyson or others have not started selling specially-branded chicken breasts (with EXTRA PROTEIN!) for all the gym bros that throw back lots of chicken breasts as-is. I haven’t actually looked, maybe they are already doing that.

      I remember having a bit of chuckle over the “protein bars” in the 90s and instead of laughing, maybe I should have started my own version of these candy bars protein bars to sell to marks consumers.

          Wow, that’s a wild grift. People are so gullible. I have no idea when and how the protein thing started, but it seems to somehow be getting even stupider.
