Can powdered whey protein be stocked long term as an emergency food supply and substitute animal protein if there's none avaliable ?
EDIT: Asking on behalf of a couple friends who drink it every day in the gym and said they could fetch a good supply on short notice if it's useful.
What ever the consensus finally indicates, I think it would be a good idea to research what plants, weeds, grasses that grow naturally in your area that you could access for Vitamin C and other essential Vitamins.
Florida has many plants that we consider weeds, that are actually editable. The Sourgrass that most of us chewed on as kids, can be a source of V-C for example. Cat Tails that grow in low areas, the root is fully of vitamins. Boil some pine needles, and I think that has some V-C.
None of that stuff will provide any protein, though, and protein plus fatty acids are the building blocks of the human body, not vitamins.
Where the in my comment did I indicate anywhere that the stuff I suggested was a source of protein? I said no matter what is the consensus, meaning no matter if comments indicate whey is good emergency source of protein, that it would be helpful to find out what things in nature can also help provide other essentials.
OP was asking about protein.
