[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like many people I've jumped on the bandwagon that I need huge amounts of protein now that I'm in my 40s.  Very hard to meet the amounts suggested by some people without drinking protein powder.  I usually drink the Orgain Brand and I love the taste of it, but I can't get over the feeling that it's just crap.  Not just the artificial sweeteners and preservatives, but the protein source itself, that it's highly processed.  If you look at the ingredients, it's a long list.

Can't help but think that all of us [b]buying this stuff at Whole Foods[/b] and the like have managed to convince ourselves that it's "healthy" but I'm not sure that this is anything different than a protein version of cinnamon toast crunch.  The label may say all the right things but at the end of the day it's not real food. What do people think?[/quote]

Yes, it probably is unnecessary and is certainly processed.

But, if you are going to use Orgain don't buy it at Whole Foods. Get it at Costco for much less. The selection is limited but they regularly put it on sale for an even better price.
