Er...I know!!!

Problem is, the magazine seemed to 'know' differently.

I think this is a throw-back to ads which emphasise the protein
content of different foods a a healthy thing  [peanut butter, IIRC,
was always advertised like this in the 50s and 60s - these days, food
advertisers tend to emphasise the 'low fatness' of their foods, and
the peanut butter makers can't really contribute there ; ) ]


But protein, to a UK market, at least, is thought to be a Jolly Good
Thing...so if protein is a JGT, then 'more' protein must be even more
of a JGT.

<sigh>
