One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be a tendency to vilify vegetable-based proteins. The really obvious ones are soy and gluten.
I do agree that protein powder is a complete scam.

I get all the protein I need from eating real food. This includes: meat, eggs, yogurt and milk. I also lift weights and I find that a diet high in animal products will provide all the protein that your body needs to recover and maintain muscle. There is no need for any supplements. Only vegetarians and other fad dieters are at the risk of being protein deficient.
Nice to know I've been part of a fad for the last 20 years.
Now I'm curious where all those keto converts went to... Last year it was all you heard about. This year - not so much.

Soy and gluten are in a lot of things, it is silly to vilify. I think people love to be trendy and hating gluten is a popular one. I don't know why people are so scared of it?

I am not sure your argument is logical.
The science is quite clear on the merits of whey protein. From measures of lean body mass to diabetes.

It's actually a very versatile ingredient as is soy. I'm a carnivore, but I actually eat a lot of stuff based on soy and gluten because I like it.
Gluten's biggest problem is that the word sounds gross. I think most people who are afraid of it don't really know what it is.

Soy and gluten are generally quite tasty. I never thought of gluten as a gross word though but I guess in modern times it could be more offensive. I wouldn't be alive without bread and pasta for sure and those odd gluten free pastas just don't cut it. Rice noodles in context are fine but in substitute for a good die cut pasta, no!

Another bizarre Mulberry-ism. At least it's not faulty mechanical advice that could hurt someone.

I recently bought a can of sardines after reading an article about how tasty and nutritious they are. I haven't had the nerve to try them yet. My wife says I shouldn't open them inside the house....

They’re not that bad.One holiday season I bought a whole smoked whitefish from a Jewish deli. Got some of the oil on my fingers and then gave kitty some pets on the top of the head, where he couldn’t clean. Poor guy’s head smelled like fish for a few days.

The idea of needing a protein drink after a ride is probably promulgated by pros needing something convenient to get needed nutrients, since post-race stages often have a lengthy transfer process before they can eat a real meal. Dylan Johnson has a video where he points to the results of a misleading study that seems to be the origin to the widely accepted idea that a certain ratio of protein to carb is needed to maximize gains. See around minute 7:

One of the best meals I have ever eaten out is veal kidneys in a Dijon cream sauce in Brussels. Had them twice during my 4 nights there. That was in ‘85. I found a recipe on line several years ago and made them twice. Good, but it didn’t measure up.

I don't vilify plant proteins, actually I just finished eating 4 cups of steamed white rice but I also had some meat with it....Plant protein is not as bioavailable as animal protein,...Animal protein is more effective for maintaining strength and muscle.
