    The conspiracy theorist this week: “The government is bulking us up with protein.”

    me, going to the grocery store

    eggs, $20/pack

    The conspiracy theorist next week: “They’re trying to deprive us of cheap eggs to make us weak enough to seize by force.”

      A bunch of egg producers in the US just got a judgement forcing them to pay a paltry fine and donate some eggs. However, the judge’s ruling did nothing to stop the existing price fixing still ongoing…

    What really annoys me about this stuff that has “high protein” and whatnot written on the packaging is that a lot of it only has, like, 8g of protein per 100g.
