I noticed this trendy-cool wording popping up in various locations and simply thought "latest prog thing."
Now I see what is really going on and it is tiresomely typical prog attempts at thought conditioning.
As a very broad and vague recommendation, ChatGPT responded with "stir-fry with your choice of protein, vegetables, and rice or noodles."
How long will it be before we see just "protein?"
Progs will attempt to make Bug goo mandatory and you will be subject to chinese style shaming sessions for not joining in.
If forced I will show up for mine with a roast beef sandwich in one hand and a stick of beef jerky in the other.
And DON"T make me pull out my bacon cheeseburger out of the bag. .
That’s been in use a long time. I know a build a salad place that’s been using “choose your protein” since last century. If you think about it it’s actually very useful. For one thing you’ve got various sections of our culture that don’t consider fish to be meat. Then you’ve got the whole hard boiled egg thing. And of course it’s a salad place so there’s tofu. We all grew up with the food pyramid: fruits and vegetables, starches, proteins, milks and dairy, fats and sugars.
So it really ain’t new. And it ain’t part of some conspiracy.
Of course; that is after it has been consumed by a chicken.
