I’ve been gyming for a longtime. My advice whenever I get the opportunity to plant seeds, chew your fucking food. Who doesn’t want to chew on a piece of steak, whole chicken, or pork roast?
(((the west))) is deliberately taking away masculinity, and entrepreneurs saw a void and are selling masculinity back to men in the stupidest ways.
I especially despise seeing those "Duke Cannon" products everywhere. Who wants soap that smells like whiskey. Does anyone want to smell like they have been drinking even when they have been?
It adds most of the flavor. Most dishes which taste bland are usually very low in fat. For many dishes, it can be solved by just adding lots of butter.
Amen. Get high-fat hamburger. Can't go wrong with that stuff.
Add some lard (not from a box) or tallow to your diet. We should be eating way more fats, and those fats should come from animals, not plants.
To get lard or tallow, just walk up to your local friendly butcher (every grocery store that sells meat has them) and ask them for it. If you want to render it, you just put it in a pot, add a little bit of water, and heat it until it turns brown and crispy. Eat the crispy bits, save the fat in a jar. Note that oxygen will destroy its flavor rather rapidly, so keep it air-tight and refrigerated to maximize its life.

Most likely. They will probably just rebrand and start the cycle again. Many companies factor in potential lawsuits as just being part of the cost of business.
After watching the video, protein supplements don’t need to be tested and approved by the FDA. It’s the company’s responsibility to label the correct ingredients. This brand was not even on store shelves. It was the private brand a bodybuilder sold mail order. It grew in popularity from word of mouth. “It was so yummy.”
In fact, they often asterisk every claim and say in the fine print: "These statements haven't been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to treat, prevent, or cure any disease."
eh, this takes a while for this stuff to play out, but FDA licensing can have you suspended or even permanently banned from selling food/supplement products.
if he isn't charged for criminal fraud outright, the company will be tanked. and when he rebrands, he'll generally be required to list any sellers/distributors as additional insured, and every major insurer asks about whether he's selling food products (or supplements), and if yes, whether he's been disbarred. if he lies, it's a felony.
at best, he's looking at selling on some shit tier ecom site and promoting via social, or trying to evade FB marketplace filters. either way, he's toast, will just take time.
[The FDA doesn't require testing](https://globalregulatorypartners.com/fdas-updates-on-dietary-supplement-regulation-in-2025/) of supplements pre-market, so it's basically on the consumer to test and report back. It's what we call "testing in prod (production environment)" in programming, and it's why it's generally frowned upon (because you may destroy valuable things through unforeseen bugs).

Hope Wuwei doesn't think I'm stepping on his toes, but I wanted to sound off on this. The best bet hands down is going with brands that use Creapure—that's the purest creatine monohydrate straight outta Germany, made under super strict standards with basically no heavy metals like lead sneaking in.
Best names right now:
Thorne Creatine — it's micronized, mixes easy, NSF Certified for Sport (third-party tested tough as nails for purity and no contaminants), and folks rave it's one of the cleanest out there.
Momentous Creatine — also Creapure-based, NSF certified, and their tests show non-detectable levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, you name it.
Always better to get your nutrients from food, and the best source of nutrients for building muscle are red meat, eggs, lean chicken breasts, and fish.
Though I do take micronized creatine (particles are smaller & more water soluable so absorbed faster & more completely) and have found it to be worthwhile, especially now that I'm 40. I've retained strength & lean muscle mass better than anyone else I know in my age group.... though the best diet in the world is only going to do so much if you aren't using it as fuel for throwing iron around and rigorous outdoors activities.
As a regenerative farmer, you might find people saying things like "Regenerative beef is higher in nutrients". This is true, but it is not necessary for you to eat regenerative beef to get all of those precious nutrients. You'd just have to eat 2x or 3x as much consumer-grade beef to get the same amount of micronutrients.
RE bulk nutrients like protein -- it's the same amount no matter where it came from. We're talking micronutrients, stuff that you can get from just eating a few leaves of cabbage.
they don't feel they're actually accomplishing anything unless the mix insane consumerism into their lifestyle.
so, you gotta get the right gear, drink the right powders, buy the right books.
it's such an amazing system for creating braindead slaves. they'll eat fucking cake batter and NOT EVEN NOTICE.

Its like that "hipster" trend years back but turned up to 11. Superficial masculinity only
