That's retarded. What other form of protein is as quick absorbing and relatively inexpensive and easy as whey?

I know you weren't there but what other protein was he advocating? He might just be a "real food" fanatic. That's acceptable but people just starting to weight lifting might find it easier to chug a shake after hitting the gym than they might find cracking open a can of tuna and going to town. If he was advocating another type of protein, my bet is that he has some sort of deal (basically that he advocates this other protein over whey and some company pays him). There was some douche on youtube going on about this a while back with unsupported facts and skewed observations only to advocate some natural protein.
