Drinking the chicken isn't as bad as you think. But it's a means to an end. No way these chocolate whey shakes pack the same ass as what I'm drinking. NOWAY!!

This is true!
Whey protein powder was initially used in the swine industry. Farmers looking for a CHEAP source of feed for their (soon to be slaughtered so who gives a fuck what we feed em) pigs bought it. Until some slick marketing came along and all of a sudden that same cheap powder was chocolate flavored and cost a helluva alot more.
The industry took off from there and protein powders started to get much better quality at present day , but not that much better. The problem is which brand is even telling the truth as to the actual true amount of protein per serving you get. For instance they can skirt around the labeling of how much protein by adding in inferior protein to bring the number up. The problem here is, the inferior protein isnt bio available.
Also I have read to independent lab reports that listed the protein powders they tested and flat out just about all of them were over reporting the amount of protein per serving. Some said they offered 20g/serving and only had 10g!! One that scored the highest was 19g out of a reported 20g and that brand is pretty pricey.
Also it all just about comes out of china where you can be getting impurities in your powder that you really dont want at all like heavy metals.
Considering the price of powder and the fact that it is always recommened that you get most of your protein from real food why even bother with powders? You dont even know if you are getting what you pay for , if it is even getting metabolized etc.
I was told that cocotein protein water is given to barometric patients so i do drink that occasionally. Also Now protein powder, whey isolate supposedly scored high in the independent lab test done by a university so I did use that for a while but its too much money so once I use it up I am done with powders.
Chicken shakes and egg whites!
