There's a definite Fear of Protein going out out there... encouraged by what I regard as vegetarian/vegan propaganda. I have lost track of how many times I have been told "you don't need that much protein" along with the ever popular "meat is death!"

I have been drifting towards high fat pastured dairy, like yogurt and good cheese, along with seafood of all kinds. This is satisfying and easy to digest, and often goes well with eggs and salad greens, too.

It can be tricky to get "out there," too. Most of the sushi and seafood salad out there is fake, and all the yogurt is low fat and loaded with sugar.
