This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Aren’t protein bars more expensive in the long run compared to beans, rice, lentils, etc. for eating on a budget? Also, don’t protein bars have a bunch of fiber in them too?
To be fair, EVERYTHING is more expensive than beans (50¢ a lb Chicagoland cooked), rice ($33¢ a lb cooked), and broccoli $1 a lb frozen)
On a $/kcal basis they gotta be one of the most overpriced nutrition you can get from like a grocery store. Not only are they highly processed, specialized nutrition that is individually packaged in tiny quantities which makes it naturally expensive, high protein products are also all the rage right now so there's a massive idiot tax on them.
Not the ones I've seen. Maybe energy bars that have oats in them but not protein bars that are most often whey protein, sawdust and artificial flavoring...
edit: ironically I put sawdust thinking of a garbage cutting agent but come to think of it that would actually be lots of fibers lol. I'll leave it, I think the point I was trying to make was clear despite the blunder
Well if you have to pay for US-priced surgery, clearly!
Cheaper to make your own protein concoctions with Costco quantities of milk for whey and acid whey. Bonus: byproduct is your choice of a pound of mozzarella or Greek yogurt.
