>>a grilled or fried protein
I don't know where calling meat "protein" come from, but for me it seems so wrong. There are other sources of protein and more than protein in meat. So why not call meat for meat? I am almost sure you talk about meat, but could also be cheese or another natural protein source, since grilling or frying a protein shake will probably not be a great success.
- allwein 8y agoThey said protein because that would also include such things as tofu, fish, and eggs; none of which are commonly called "meat". You're being overly restrictive by trying to move to the term meat.
- rypskar 8y agook, so a protein source, or a source of protein, would cover it. Might be me getting old, but the term "a protein" rubs me the wrong way
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoIt's just another example of an English word having multiple meanings. The listener (or reader) has to divine which one was intended by context. Much like the word "organic". Protein is used this way quite a bit when talking about diet.
