Australia now trying to ban Protein Powders and online shopping because muh taxes and shit >Australian teenagers are being lured into buying dangerous protein powders that are being sold over the internet, while cases of hospital admissions for high heart rates, dizziness, vomiting and even death have been attributed to some protein powders. >Experts are urging consumers - including body-conscious teenage boys, gym junkies, body-builders and people trying to lose weight - to buy only reputable brands and check all labels carefully. >This follows the NSW Food Authority's investigation last year into supplementary sports foods that led directly to the banning by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of the ingredient 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA), found in some of the powders.

this won't go far because writing about it all with no knowledge is one thing, but actually trying to ban it and having to back the arguments with scientific fact is another. some proteins are shit for you due to the ingredients, but there are plenty of other product categories where how much you pay can dictate the quality of the product you get.

Maybe if companies stopped putting unlisted shit into their products (i.e albuterex with yohimbine in it, fucks sake) and people learnt how to use these products without fatal consequences we wouldn't have this problem.

this doesn't surprise me, seeing as lifting is becoming a fucking meme for 15 year olds. i'm an ausfag who's been a member of 4 different gyms since i started lifting, and there's a significant portion of gym users who are just dumbfuck DYEL kids who work out twice a week and just smash through double the amount of supplements they should in any given time frame, and their parents just buy them more and more because it's "good to see their kids exercising." banning them is stupid, but seeing as there's so many australian kids who want pecs and biceps, there should be some more research into which of these stupid XxX MAX POWER GAINER MUSCLE JUICE XxX supps are actually dangerous for kids to be ingesting. the kids and their parents aren't to blame for being stupid here, in my opinion. its a lack of proper information.

>>18660468 I couldn't understand it either. Obviously it enhances the ability for it to burn fat and increase energy in albuterex's case. but it's incredibly stupid to put a banned product into the blend. They've already had one recall, now there's a full ban on the stuff. Great brand image that gives off - false ingredients and illegal ones at that. Too bad, albuterex is one of the few legal things that actually as potential to work, too.

>>18660653 Pretty much this. It stems from shitty handling of health issues - rather than teach kids from a young age to eat right we just tax and ban stuff hoping it'll sort itself out come circle. Fuck, if someone told me in first grade and every year afterwards to eat more meat, greens and whole foods it probably would have stuck to more of a degree. Even at university there are people who have absolutely no clue about nutrition, or have the 'hurr I eat mcdonalds for breakfast so I'll have a salad and balance it out' mentality.

>>18662260 No and porn is not illegal in Australia. The only porn illegal in Australia are the same types banned in other western countries - such as child. "Small breast" porn is not banned contrary to popular belief online, same goes for squirting porn. When that Anon said X rated porn is illegal, I'm pretty sure that does mean Hardcore, but he's talking about DVD's you buy. You can look at all the porn you want online. Our country is not overrun with feminists. We're one of the least feminist western countries.

>>18657121 >Australia now trying to ban Protein Powders and online shopping because muh taxes and shit This is not mentioned in, alluded to, or even relevant to the article you linked. There is no source for your claim. The article simply recommends that cunts buy natty protein powder and don't take preworkouts (without actually understanding what a preworkout is or mentioning them by name, or differentiating them from protein powder). It's a poorly researched article, with sub par writing, and doesn't deserve or warrant a single page view. Well done for getting them page views.
