My kids love that I now make eggs and Canadian bacon with pancakes. They think it’s just a more elaborate breakfast. It may not actually be healthy but at least they’re getting some protein Instead of just massive amounts of carbs
Spoiler: It’s not fucking healthy, certainly less healthy than an equivalent caloric amount of pure starch. Everything is made of protein; as long as you are not eating highly processed foods, you don’t need to go out of your way to add it to your diet. That’s bro science nonsense.
My main takeaway from this is that I should eat 5 times my daily calorie count in chicken breast and I’ll turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Time to get out my KFC coupons
Eat an inconvenient amount of protein, it’s also good for you.
No. You just shit it out. Your gut can only absorb so much protein in a day. Even if you only eat potatoes or rice, if you are meeting your caloric needs, you will automatically be meeting your protein needs. Meanwhile, animal protein is associated with very serious health issues.
And of course the facts that you have known all along but choose not to connect with emotionally: that the experiences of animals are real and matter.

Gaston ate 5 dozen eggs and he isn’t as big as prime Arnold!
