    Yogurt, a neutral food if ever there were one, went from being feminized to being marketed as protein-rich workout fuel for men. And of course men don’t diet—they “biohack”.

    I’m glad I’ve never gone deep enough into the fitness rabbit hole to ever hear the term “biohack”:cringe:

      It’s not a fitness term, it’s a Silicon Valley term. It’s a weird mix of recognizing that they spend too much time indoors and need vitamins, and trying to replace eight hours of sleep with sixty micronaps per day. It’s all about “hacking” the body’s natural processes to increase productivity. Some turned microdosing from a fun activity to a “creativity-booster” so they can :monke-beepboop: better code.

      They do this because cocaine is not in vogue in Silicon Valley and because Silicon Valley loves to try to reinvent shit that we knew a thousand years ago.
