Our commitment to protein has led us to a strange place. Boiled cod. We're selling it now.

Excited to share that David has raised $75M in our Series A and acquired one of our key suppliers, Epogee. This funding and acquisition give us the ability to scale production, expand retail distribution, and accelerate development of new products designed to help people build

Rigorously perfected protein.
David Protein Bar. At first glance, their marketing might convince you that it's healthy. In reality—it's a nuclear bomb for your gut, metabolism, and overall health. Here is a breakdown: 🧵

If “eating like our ancestors” is the gold standard, remind me: when exactly were they drinking blended, filtered, sulfited, non-alcoholic wine, processed through proprietary industrial methods like your brands Surely / Arlow wines? Or shelf-stable bone broth that has gone
11/ Our ancestors evolved to eat whole foods, and never encountered modified plant fats, artificial sweeteners, or isolated protein compounds. Yet today, we're flooding our systems with these lab-created substances. I'm afraid David bar is just more of the same.

This is a very odd criticism from someone failing to disclose his own consumer packaged good products, including one that contains alcohol, marketed as "healthy."
10/ What frustrates me is that these bars are marketed as "healthy" to people trying to improve their diet. Will this kill you? Unlikely, but it's sure not the health product the company would like you to believe.

Yes, processing cocoa powder will decrease antioxidant levels compared to raw cocoa. This is true and we use this ingredient because we can create a better tasting bar with deacidified cocoa powder. Similarly, roasting coffee beans will decrease their levels of flavonols, but
9/ Then, there's the cocoa. Their cocoa is processed with alkali (Dutch process), meaning it's been treated with potassium carbonate to neutralize its acidity. This significantly reduces the flavanol content - the compounds responsible for many of chocolate's health benefits.

This is not a helpful comment because all food is, by definition, made up of chemical compounds. For example, a simple orange contains a complex mix of around 400 chemical compounds. That doesn’t make oranges bad. While you may teach a 4 year-old to use heuristics like “chemicals
8/ Then in "less bad but still not ideal" territory we have natural flavors, the industry's favorite trick. Under FDA rules, this single term can hide over 100 different chemicals (propylene glycol, preservatives like BHA/BHT, MSG).. All without disclosure on the label.
