I see no reason to use them period! There are plenty of things that are not
meat that are actually good tasting, whole foods.

I did buy Boca burgers in the past. They did taste good and we ate a lot of
them. That was before I realized how bad soy was for the thyroid. You
couldn't pay me to eat them now. Once in a while I will buy Sunshine
Burgers. They're made of beans but not soybeans. I actually haven't bought
any in a while. While I do like them, it is cheaper just to buy some beans
and eat those. And I'm not picky like that. I'd just as soon eat the beans
straight from the can.
