Every food commercial, advertisement, and packaging in the US is currently protein obsessed. I just bought 3 burritos, and the most noticeable thing on the entire package is its protein content. TV commercials about waffles are advertising that they have X amount of protein per serving. The products in my jobsite's vending machine have protein all over every package.

Did America have a protein thing recently?

Animal testing typically involves injecting chemicals or rubbing directly into purpose-made abrasions or the eyes of animals. It is MUCH more brutal than it sounds.

Im sure they washed dogs with the final formula.

    Man...why are we like this...

    Animal testing doesn't even guarantee that it'll react the same way in/on humans. We have so many other options and yet we continue cruel practices because tradition. Ugh.
