Have any of you tried this Textured Vegetable Protien stuff? I've tried veggie-burgers before and thought they were about a half step away from a rice cake. I see this stuff advertised on the survival web-sites but I'd just as soon go for the canned meats.

If you have eaten sausage pizza or hamburgers in the public school system in the last 20 years, you have eaten some.

It isn't half bad if it is mixed with some real ground meat. Mostly made up of soy. Gives me gas.....

I'll admit that I don't mind it.  Like thedave indicated, it's not as spongy if "cut" with beef.  Light, quick, and easy.
There are beginning to surface warnings about "overconsumption" of soy products due to the presence of estrogen-like compounds.  Evidence suggests that they may be good for women in menopause, and for those recovering from heart surgery, but, I wonder if too much of these can begin to cause feminization.  No great evidence to suggest this, though, and some evidence to dismiss this.
