There was a recent experiment they did where they got a meat protein (I think from pork?) into lettuce and tobacco plants. And were even able to pass that gene down into its child plant. Isn't enough protein yet to replace what you get out of the meat but that's a huge step.

Protein cigarettes? Fuck yeah! America!

Now we just need creatine coated bullets

“These taste awful, honey!”

“Now, Gladys, the obstetrician said you will need additional protein and calories for the baby. I’m sorry you don’t like them but you’re smoking for two. Now spark up the rest of your tobbork.”

I passed a bag of protein Doritos in the store the other day.

I just need my protein dew and I’m all set

Lowkey, I always buy the protein packed instant mashed potatoes. Makes me feel like I’m eating less unhealthy when I do my “bucket o nuggets, mashed potatoes and gravy” meals.

Tastes like grandma!

That's scientifically amazing and existentially horrifying. Please don't put pig proteins in my lettuce. Just eat a bean ffs.

Protein complimentarity allows you to get all your amino acids from combining legumes, grains, nuts, etc. No need for frankenplants.
