Is food becoming less nutritious that we need supplemental protein?

The news said something about this earlier but I was killing gnolls.

That's a really interesting question and the article you linked is too. Yes companies react to customer demand. However as this article's author describes there is a confict of interest in the industrial food industry, which is that it is lucrative for them (when you can just ignore externalities) to keep consumers ignorant about nutrition.

And when you consider the interlocking directorates involved and sheer budgets I'm not surprised. There is this infographic from mid 2010s (lacking citations) floating around the internet that I believe shows the budgets of animal rights organizations versus the meat industry

We can debate and discuss best recommendations but I still don't know if that's why you're here Reiwa.

I'm here because we aren't allowed to discuss what's best.

Although it would be pretty weird if we had come up with an excuse to pay tropical belt countries for our continued nutritional survival.

Nice man. Closest to downhill skiing I've done is some tobaggan-level stuff but we have hills enough for runs. Or are you doing cross-country?

I don't understand and while I'd appreciate if you dumb down your point so I could it's not necessary

Exercise of the now: Zercher Calf Extensions standing on a scrap of lumber

Use a rack or stands and load a barbell. Zercher the bar and take your position on the lumber with your heels on the floor and with the lumber underneath your toes.

Do the eccentric part of a zercher squat and go down until the bar makes contact with your quad. Squeeze your legs with your pecs and elbows for stability in the bottom position and do calf raises while maintaining the squat position. Focus on driving your big toes into the lumber as you do the raises. 10 rep sets or more.

If you are doing it correctly you are basically doing a seated calf raise but instead of a pencilneck machine you are horsecocking and stabilizing the weights.

Enjoy your lifting.
