meatheads might consume muscle powder, the muscle powder is not made from meat. It's the plants that are contaminated with the heavy metals, that cause the muscle powder to have heavy metals.

That's not what the term meathead means. It's someone that's strong and dumb

You are going to be surprised that the term metal head doesnt mean metal in their head...

What are the brands? Why this information is hidden from the public?

Part of the reason I no longer do protein powders is how wildly unregulated the supplement industry is. I'll just hit up a hard boiled egg or 2 after a workout.
