I think the whole matter with soy beans may just be a case of the pendulum swinging back past center in the other direction.
They were made to seem better than they really are, and now they're finding out that the soy bean isn't a wonder food.
If it's not used as a staple it wouldn't get such a bad rap.
Soy beans are my least favoite bean. Chick peas are almost as bad. I like great northern, pinto, lima and lentills and split peas much better.
The fist time I cooked up a pot of soy beans I ended up throwing them out. I didn't like the taste or the texture.
If I eat a Boca burger it seems to take forever to digest.
I do like soy milk though, but I don't use much.
