⊹🤍⊹ Hello Everyone! And welcome back to the Blog, Lowkey thinking of naming my blog but I dunno drop any suggestions down below, But anyways! I'm PassionFruit and were gonna be talking about {The Uprising of Protein and Gym Culture} ⊹🤍⊹

So for context of what brought this on, I dunno' if you guys have seen it lately depending on where you live, but if not there is a restaurant (took me ten tries to spell that btw) called chipotle that advertises themselves as only serving the freshest ingredients to their customers especially their meats that have zero like steroids and what not and their food being made fresh and never microwaved (they actually don't have any microwaves in their stores which is totally dope).

 However, recently they rolled out a new promo for their "Protein Bowls" advertising their protein and calorie count on their "New Protein Chicken". YES, I WILL be using quotations heavily because this shit doesn't make sense, like doesn't chicken and rice and vegetables naturally have protein? How can you add protein to food that naturally has protein? SOO being the Investigative Journalist I am, I looked it up and apparently the chicken that they are using for their Protein Menu is Adobo Chicken that is farm grown and has no Antibiotics what-so-ever. Thus begs the question. What the FUCK is in regular chipotle chicken? are those chickens like tortured and on steroids? I'm not vegan or anything but that would be genuinely insane i wouldn't be able to eat their again.

Now for the most recent example that I've seen, Recently the Babybel Cheese company is Launching new Protein cheese. For context for those who may not know what it is its basically small To-Go cheese wheels that are covered in a soft wax and you peel them open to eat the soft cheese inside, Google claims its a Edam-style cheese (idk what that means) but it taste a lot like mozzarella cheese. Anyways they also have a new protein version of their cheese where again, CHEESE HAS NATURAL PROTEINSSSSSS so like is the protein FAKE ? Did their original cheese not have protein?? like what is with everything having protein versions? 

One big reason for the "Protein Panic TM" is definitely the rapid influence of gym and bulk culture that has been pretty prominent in any form of media lately, from "Protein Packed Meal Preps" and "High protein low Carb meals". Now, let me be clear, Im in no way against people eating healthy and treating their body right im more so talking about the people that build their platform on telling people that everything they eat still isnt enough protein and the pushing hardcore Gym lifestyles for bigger grown adults onto young impressionable teenagers because newsflash that causes problems eating.. and I think we all know what that's called. In summary just Eat how you want, you dont have to obsess over calories and what not, just as long as you're full and happy at the end of the day thats a good day imo. :>

Be Kind to Yourself and Others
