The Asians eat more *fermented* soy, that's the healthier stuff to my
understanding. That includes tempeh, tofu, miso and tamari (like soy sauce).
We're supposed to avoid *unfermented* soy which includes soy beans, soy nuts
and soy milk. The tricky thing is I've read that tofu is fermented and
unfermented, ditto for soy milk. So not exactly sure what the definitive
answer is for tofu and soy milk. Like most things, eat soy in moderation.

I am interested in doing more meat-free and low-cost cooking and am open to
ideas on a new thread or subject if you guys want to throw out some ideas or
your favorite cook book. We routinely have 2-3 meat-free nights per week,
we've routinely had red beans & rice, veggie burgers, etc. Need some new
ideas to shake things up.

Thanks!
