Personally, I do eat a little fermented soy...otherwise I don't eat it often--and I'm vegan. Being single, i find it a waste of time to cook protein half the time...I eat a lot of sprouted things and use rice protein when I require it...I am not on a high protein diet--for me to be on a high protein diet would be disasterous as I have osteopenia. Plant food easily supplies enough protein, enzymes and amino acids. Grains also supply a lot of protein...sea veggies and other legumes, too. It's pretty easy to get more than the DRA without consuming soy...or even a protein powder! However, I did see a neat protein powder--Hemp--I might check out next.
I so agree about the protein issue. We've become a nation obsessed with protein overload. But if one needs/wants a protein powder yes hemp, or pea protein powder will work if you don't like the rice. Personally I'm not fond of the taste of the rice protein powder by Nutribiotic, even the chocolate flavor.
As to soy...I LOVE (GF) soy sauce but it cramps my muscles right up..strange reaction, huh? As far as I know there is no DF sub for tofu, unfortunately.
There are some new theories about protein and iron. It used to be the thinking that if you were low in either than the meat based iron/protein was the best for absorbability. Now the thinking is that if your body is low in either it will take it from any source it can get it, meat based or not, and absorb it in relation to the need. Amazing machines we have indeed. Kandee
