Performance Enhancement: Packing on the Protein

I see a lot of people in our community obsessed with this new "high-protein" fad. Constantly wanting to increase their muscle mass with endless protein shakes, raw eggs, and trips to the gym. I wouldn't say that I know of anybody who has experienced any harsh side effects from participating in this, but it definitely concerns me. I wonder how long it takes for people to be strongly affected, and also to what degree?

This image's purpose was to poke fun at the high protein diet
(and its stereotypes) and to also inform the public of a few of its repercussions.
