IN 1965, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR, PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON GAVE THE C.I.A. A MISSION:

​

“CREATE THE ULTIMATE PROTEIN BAR TO STRENGTHEN AMERICANS AND DEFEAT THE RUSSIANS.”

​

THE PROJECT — CODENAMED JACKED GRANNY — QUIETLY SUCCEEDED IN 1988. BUT THE RESULT STUNNED THEM: NO EXOTIC COMPOUNDS. NO COMLEX ISOLATES. JUST THREE SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:

​

1. PEANUTS

2. EGG WHITES

3. MAPLE SYRUP​

​

THAT TERRIFIED THE PROTEIN BAR GIANTS — LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE PROTEIN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (P.I.C.). THEIR EMPIRE RELIED ON ADDITIVES, FAKE FIBER, AND LIES. WITH HELP FROM [REDACTED], THEY FORCED THE C.I.A. TO BURY THE PROJECT.

IN 2024, A WHISTLEBLOWER LEAKED EVERYTHING — INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL FORMULA. WE HAVE THE BAR. AND WE’RE SHARING IT BEFORE THEY STOP US.
