The Paleo Diet. Protein powder. Half-pound burgers. In the event that you haven't perceived, our society has gotten fixated on devouring protein—which implies few of us are holding back on the stuff.

"Nowadays, a large portion of the hot prevailing fashion weight control plans are professional protein."
