just saying chicken outperforms shakes by miles and it's much healthier.

They are indeed full of crap, and only really suitable for people taking roids, as their metabloism is then fast enough to need the barrage of protein and all the rest. If you're not doing the roids and down the gym for half or each day then don't bother as you'll prob just give your kidneys a bashing.

Protein shakes are essentially waste products. They all originate from the cheese making process which whey is extracted. Whey doesn't have much protein itself, so they compress a tonne of it together and add all sorts of metals like aluminium and iodine. So essentailly it's a waste product and people are being convinced it's good for them.
