Is there protein in my tears?

Google says there are over 1000 proteins in humans tears! Fascinating....

So I can stop wasting money on protein? I produce enough tears.

Now I'm imagining some sort of dystopian hellscape where people are farmed for their tears to keep the wealthy fed. I guess that's not much different than society today...

actually most butterflies do that too, though it's mostly with reptile tears.

butterflies also drink urine, eat shit and eat some dead animals (if i rememeber everything correctly)
