whats there to debate? 30g of protein from stake has no proven superiority to 30g of protein from whey.

Actually there is a ton of data that states food is superior. Because the proteins in supplements are separated from the other nutrients in their original food source, protein powders lack the beneficial ingredients in whole foods. In other words, whole food sources of protein are better than protein powders because of the vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy fats they provide. For example, whey protein powders include the same amino acids found in low-fat milk but lack the bone-building calcium you need as part of a well-balanced diet. Relying on protein powders as your primary source of amino acids requires you to include missing nutrients in your other foods, add additional supplements to your diet or risk a nutritional deficiency.
Consuming protein powders may increase your exposure to toxic contaminants. A July 2010 “Consumer Reports” article describes a study in which every type of protein drink they tested came up positive for one or more of the poisonous heavy metals arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead.
Humans are designed to eat food, thats why we have teeth that our perfect for tearing, crunching and mashing. Slow rate absorption such as whole foods is superior to any liquid. Ask any first year nutritionist or dietitian. Making muscle from another animals muscle just makes sense.
Whole foods are also thermogenic during our digestion process.
But I think many miss the big picture. Protein powder is a supplement, no different from a multivitamin. Used properly they are both a great addition to our daily foods. But neither are a replacement or superior to whole foods. Also most of the so called studies that point to protein powders superiority have their own line or a stake in a company. Why would top level powerlifters and bodybuilders alike eat 4-5 pounds of meat a day instead of just upping their protein powder intake??? Because they now real food is better.

one of the dumbest bunch statements ive ever seen. that alone should make you question the credibility of the person writing the piece.
post one study from a respected source that says you will make greater strength and muscle gains from whole food than whey protein powder.
or are you and X just going to keep resorting to little e-jabs in an attempt to validate your false claims?
