This is a WSJ article about "success stories" for an unsuccessful Apple product. There's little more to be said, aside for pointing out that this is how marketing desperation looks like. Somebody needs some "independent" good news to show when asked uncomfortable questions at investor meetings.

Let's skip over the fact that your original post referred to TFS, not TFA. There's also no reference to 0.6g/kg in TFA. There's the explicit reference to 0.8:

The pervasive call for higher protein intake stems from the assertion that people are not getting adequate amounts in their diet, namely the 0.8 g/kg/day recommended by the National Academy of Medicine and the World Health Organization.

and your quote, where the relevant part is

1.6 g/kg/day, twice the recommended dietary allowance

Last time I checked, 0.6 is half of 1.2, not of 1.6, that would be ... 0.8, surprise! - so I'm not even certain what you were trying to prove with that quote?

Try to read the summary again... slowly and it helps to move your lips.
The summary states 0.6 g/kg, not 1.6 g/kg

Maybe take your own advice? from TFS

found no evidence supporting intake beyond 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight

In fact, 0.6g/kg is nowhere in the summary, the recommended amount is 0.8g/kg.

Math is hard.

Especially true when merely reading TFS is hard.

It's extremely important for people to understand this: both the Democrats and the Republicans are culpable.

The right and the left are NOT both culpable. The right are the Republicans, the center-right are the Democrats, and the left are absolutely nobody you've ever seen or will see on TV except in a mugshot. The left almost entirely opposed this surveillance from the beginning. Those who don't are frequently the subject of the kind of infighting that makes the left hard to organize, and this nonsense proves that was correct to infight over.
