I forget what the exact stat is, but something like 20% of Americans don’t get enough protein vs 97% don’t get enough fiber.

Not getting enough protein is essentially starvation territory unless you’re actual athlete or bodybuilder.

There’s protein in celery. In garlic. In almost everything you eat. Yes I wouldn’t suggest making celery and garlic your only protein sources but you eat normal filling amounts of actual food and we’ll get enough, sans the stones people lass for getting too much.


Depends on what you call enough protein. Part of the point of those pushing protein is the claim that most people need a lot more than government standards
