I had a similar reaction. Although I can't help but notice that even in something like this it included the now obligatory combative culture war framing with "we are ending the war on protein".

It’s even more ridiculous because Protien has been like the no 1 promoted macronutrient for the last decade of nutrition advice.

Pretty sure nobody reputable has ever said “eat less protein”

It must be such a tiring way to live, constantly enflamed in imaginary thought wars.

That's not how it works, they're just inflating the importance of their work by elevating it to a battlefield, and they're the heroes.

You see it across all kinds of industries. Presumably each individual is just engaged in the solitary imaginary thought war. Surely they're not soldiers on multiple fronts. Superheroes?

Au contrair, wars invigorate reactionaries, they don’t know any other way to live.

Those DEMOCRAT SOYBOYS are gonna hate this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. Today we're joining the WAR on protein- ON THE SIDE OF THE PROTEIN.

It's an idiocracy bit, the continual flanderization of the USA. It reminds me of carlin's act about how everything we do has to be contextualized into war: we can't just solve homelessness, we have to declare WAR on homelessness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lncLOEqc9Rw).

Going to be pretty crazy when they find out soy is actually a good source of protein.
