Protein Bars Are The Most Effective Way To Feed People

The biggest IRL problem with MOST protein/nutrition bars is that they're packed with sugar plus other assorted "empty" carbs.

And on the flip-side the few that are actually healthy to eat tend to be hard, chewy and not all that "tasty". (read: sweet/salty)
 
IMO there's no better food than humans. There's plenty of them out there (~7.8 billion) and the small ones are easy to catch.
 
I'm a dinner guy, so I personally love me a protein bar for lunch.

Fills me up, is relatively "healthy " and low calorie compared to many other traditional lunch options, doesn't make me sleepy in the afternoon, easy to eat at my desk so I can get out of work 30 minutes earlier than if I had to take a "real" lunch.

Milk Coffee for breakfast, Protein Bar for lunch, something delicious and caloric for dinner.

I'd say that the issue there is that you've normalised not being allowed a reasonable time to get a break at lunch!
Taking a lunch break shouldn't mean that you have to stay later!

Not toast. Good bread doesn't need to be toasted. It's perfect as-is. Sadly that is not easy to find in US. One thing I recall about visiting Switzerland as a teen was how delicious the normal market bread was.

I haven't bought bread for years, make my own in my bread machine. Recipe I developed myself featuring rye, whole wheat, all purpose flour, ground flax seed, caraway seeds, vital wheat gluten, etc. It's sort of a rye, whole wheat hybrid. I've made other types of bread in the past, all sorts, but have stuck with this one for a long time.
 
I have never bought a protein bar in my life IIRC and possibly never eaten one. Well, I have a dim memory of eating some kind of chewy seemingly homogeneous tan wrapped bar obviously semi-permeated with sugar, it might have been a so-called protein bar. You call that food???? I'd sooner eat a trail mix of seeds, nuts, raisins, chopped dried apricots, toasted oats (I used to make those from scratch).

Can they make a protein bar taste like the chicken enchiladas with mole I had last night at a nice Mexican restaurant in the LES?
