I had a similar reaction. Although I can't help but notice that even in something like this it included the now obligatory combative culture war framing with "we are ending the war on protein".

It must be such a tiring way to live, constantly enflamed in imaginary thought wars.

That's not how it works, they're just inflating the importance of their work by elevating it to a battlefield, and they're the heroes.

You see it across all kinds of industries. Presumably each individual is just engaged in the solitary imaginary thought war. Surely they're not soldiers on multiple fronts. Superheroes?

Those DEMOCRAT SOYBOYS are gonna hate this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. Today we're joining the WAR on protein- ON THE SIDE OF THE PROTEIN.

It's an idiocracy bit, the continual flanderization of the USA. It reminds me of carlin's act about how everything we do has to be contextualized into war: we can't just solve homelessness, we have to declare WAR on homelessness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lncLOEqc9Rw).

It’s even more ridiculous because Protien has been like the no 1 promoted macronutrient for the last decade of nutrition advice.

Pretty sure nobody reputable has ever said “eat less protein”

Going to be pretty crazy when they find out soy is actually a good source of protein.

Au contrair, wars invigorate reactionaries, they don’t know any other way to live.

Also you can make all kinds of delicious food with soybeans

There is a difference between inflating your work, and flat out lie. The previous guidelines weren’t against protein at all. The mentioned war didn’t exist at all in these. The protein target is about the same as 10 years ago. Back then the only recommendation regarding this was, that more seafood and nuts would be better for almost everybody, and for some people less meat. So generally, that we should consume more protein. So the “war” wasn’t there.

wars invigorate donations, they don’t know any other way to make money
