Kids do not need protein added food. Yes, it is extremely processed. Kids also need a good balance of carbs and fats. It is not necessarily beneficial to overeat protein. Most of the longest lived cultures eat lower protein, so take that for what it’s worth.

There are plenty of ways to add protein to a meal without the crap.

The balance has been out of wack for decades due to the food pyramid. Too many carbs, not enough fat and protein.

People have figured out the protein part, but still haven't caught on to the fat part being good.

People do not need to be consuming so much protein. https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/are-you-getting-too-much-protein
