“I used to drink whey protein, but my tummy didn’t feel great afterwards, so I stopped,” says Joe.

“It wasn’t until the documentary when we went to manufacture one of these bars, and I was like, ‘Where's all the oats and nuts and seeds?’ [and was told] ‘Oh, no, it doesn’t have that. It’s just powders and glycerin and fats and all these weird things. None of it’s real.”

It’s us being duped into buying so-called health bars that are just a collection of chemicals, that is really weird, he explains, not having dinner leftovers for breakfast.
