Grams of protein in context One of the most meaningless stats bantered about by sophists is “grams of protein”. Why? Because proteins from different sources of food have different amino acid compositions and different bio-availability.

The youthful energy of its all-out attack pushed a meme President into office, but naivety and inexperience left it open to a crushing counter-assault by the demon clown's forces....
