Hot Take Tuesday: Students share takes on protein and SGA campaigning
Published on March 10, 2026.
The FSView Views section has published a weekly Hot Take Tuesday series of opinions from students at Florida State University. These opinions focus on the importance of protein consumption as a vital component of healthy diets, but also on the potential for artificial sources. Food production companies and dining chains exploit this obsession by upcharging products with five more grams of protein per serving than the classic ones. Students argue that protein powder should not be an ingredient in something like jelly beans unless you are training for an Ironman or are malnourished. They also suggest that Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts should abandon their "protein drinks" and focus on coffee rather than protein drinks. Finally, Logan Walters argues that campaign tables are enough for voters and suggests a party set up next to them to scare potential voters away.
