People on GLP-1s need to eat more protein. Because of this, everything now has added protein which has caused the price of whey protein to rise dramatically.
Those bars are probably anywhere from $2-4 each, so they’re targets for theft.
I think it’s just marketing. Whenever I ask someone why he takes extra protein, the answer is almost always “for muscles to grow”. That’s not how protein even works. By not really doing anything and just taking extra protein, you build mass, not muscle, and now you see bunch of teenagers whose bodies look like 40 from behind and they just generally look fat, not strong.
Humans generally have enough protein intake to not think about it (last I checked, around 2.5% have deficiency, poor regions)
What the absolute fuck?

How do people afford GLP1s but can’t afford these bars?
I think they can’t afford the bars because they have to pay for the GLP-1s
Gas prices directly correlate to the price of dairy and its byproducts as well

If you are stressed out with tense muscles all the time, increasing your protein intake makes your muscles grow. A bit crampy at times though.
