 I appreciate the work you’re doing to help people understand the importance of Protein in the diet…

In my experience with my own body over many years I’ve come to realize that there isn’t a “bad macro-nutrient”…

But instead there’s—
Good protein and bad protein, 
Good fats and bad fats, 
Good carbs and bad carbs

If you can imagine picking it from a tree, bush or digging it out of the ground or killing it…it’s good for you…if you can’t and you have to read a label that has words on it that you can’t pronounce then it isn’t.
