nftu··on How Protein Took over the World
It's funny that protein everything is taking off just as more data seems to come out that you really don't need as much protein as previously thought, even for vigorous weightlifting (~0.82g/lb of lean body mass seems to be a sufficient number), which isn't really all that hard to get from regular old high protein food. There's no good reason to infuse it in everything. I've been lifting for many years now, and have not noticed a difference from when I used to follow the old 1g/lb of body weight rule.

nftu··on The Story of Marina Abramovic and Ulay (2020)
I first learned of her from her Netflix documentary, long before the Spirit Cooking thing, and she came across as a pretentious twit to me. I'll say I did have some respect for her commitment. I'm admittedly someone who doesn't "get" performance art, though.
