Genesee vs. David
Genesee vs. David: Ancestral Fuel vs. Engineered Protein
David ships 28 grams of protein in a 150-calorie wrapper. Impressive bench number. The asterisk is what's in it — sucralose, seed oils, and a protein isolate stack engineered for the macro chart, not the field.

Frequently asked
What makes bison tallow different?
Bison were grass- and forage-finished on open range for 200,000 years. Their fat carries a fatty-acid profile shaped by that range, not by a feedlot corn-and-soy diet. It's closer to what humans ancestrally adapted to burn than any seed oil.
