I'm starting now.
I'm fighting back against the onslaught of protein in the grocery store.
As someone who lived through the 90s and the 2000s and the Atkins diet, I didn't realize that we were in a war.
Right.
Is it the war on beef?
Okay, go on.

I mean, Atwater was like, get your protein however you can get your protein.
Animal, plant, whatever.
And then at least 70 years ago, it was known that plant protein was associated with lower incidence of chronic disease.
Okay, so what does this mean for, we should do an episode on protein.
We really should.
I've been wanting to do the keto diet for a long time.
Oh, yeah.
But what does this mean for the fact that like, you know, we're seeing this now.
How long has this been building this war on protein rhetoric?
Again, I still come back to the protein in every product that you see these days.
Like that's like the newest trend.
It is.
And what are the implications of that trend?
