there is all kinds of meat replacers, and not all are made from soy. TVP may or may not include soy products. Seitan is made from wheat gluten and Quorn, which is a mycoprotein (sort of like a mushroom) Those last two are great, but seitan that squeaks when you chew it skeeves me out.
So let's see:
beef = mad cow & hormone poisoning
poultry = bird flu & salmonella
seafood = mercury & contaminated water toxicity
peanut butter = salmonella
spinach & lettuce = e-coli
Hell, even dogfood is contaminated now.
