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?

      Legumes, probably. Thats what drove my daughter out of veganism when she tried it. She can’t stand that stuff.

      While I’m definitely not vegan, legumes have a good place in my food plan.
