David Protein just got hit with a lawsuit claiming its macros don't add up, raising familiar questions about labeling, ingredients, and what happens when a fast-growing brand lands in the legal spotlight. The team breaks down the claims, why brands become litigation magnets, and whether consumers will care. Plus: a readout from Seafood Expo North America and Stiller Soda's attention-grabbing social push. Show notes: 0:20: A Month-Ish Away. Stage Presence. Scaling, Suing. SENA Observations.
