The Tofu Trap

摘要

Like many people at the natural foods store, I buy a lot of soy products. I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I steer away from meats and dairies. I use vanilla soymilk with my cereal, I'll pick up Soy Delicious ice cream from time to time and, when I want a snack, I'll grab a bag of Soy Crisps. I prefer the buffalo burger to its veggie cousin, but I've been known to enjoy a garden breakfast sausage. And I'll be the first to suggest an edamame appetizer. But those are just the soy products I'm choosing to consume. As it turns out, soy protein isolate is in pretty much everything we eat: cereals, cereal bars, biscuits, cheeses, cakes, noodles, pastries, snacks, soups, sausage casings, as well as in the feed of beef and dairy cows, pigs and chickens.
