Have you noticed? Protein everything everywhere. Remember when Cheerios was touted a good source of bran because it's made of oats? Now, it's Cheerios Protein! Here's the twist in the tail: Remember when they villainized meat? Yep, a great source of protein, but everyone was told to cut back on their meat intake, preferably to vegetarian levels. Save the animals! The animals that don't exist without ranchers and farmers. Now it's protein bars! Protein drinks! Protein chips! Protein cereal. Just so we're clear: Meat is still an excellent source of protein, along with other nutrients. Coming next week: Eggs, again.
