Whey

processing (lol byproduct)

marketing
"supplement" premium pricing
"muh certification" in an pretty much unregulated market

It's a niche supplement for specific use.
Also byproduct of cheese. Lots of cheese. Then they have to make it taste edible or tasteless.

That on top of marketing and again it being a supplement. Not a requirement to live, but a product only bought by people who are willing to shill out the extra buck.

nigga do what i do

u know what i do

i buy skimmed milk powder, skimmed so it has 100% protein and no fat

but not for humans, for animal use

and I buy it in bulk, like 1-5kg something like that

basically whey, but for animals

It's really not that expensive compared to meat when you consider grams of protein per dollar.

it's a meme. How many high schoolers were buying all this shit? No one and they still made gains

They're way laxer on the health and safety regulations with animal products, nevermind that animal products have different standards to begin with. You might be giving yourself a slow death by bleach.

I had it in highschool and lifted more than most. What does it mean?

Noobs gains can happen even on a caloric deficit
And clearly from your knowledge I can say you're a noob

That still has tons of lactose though. Just buy whey in bulk.

price driven up by fitness fad culture. you used to be able to buy a 5lbs tub of ON for $50 but now it's like 2.5x that. may as well buy fucking meat for that much, which completely defeats the purpose of supplementing.

you can still get 5lbs for $50 on amazon
