Even though the product has minerals and vitamins and no trans fat, I'm sure it is synthetic and it is incredibly processed. I hate to keep pushing this point, but if something is veggie it doesn't mean it's healthier, and especially not healthier than low fat Turkey (especially not a local, hormone and steroid free kosher bird). Oh, and Ben, I love the someecards.com site. Brilliant. I've been sending awkward messages to many a friend.

Is it possible that The Jew & The Carrot has no love for the vaguely turkey breast-shaped lump of soy protein, or do we have some serious Tofurkey advocates out there?
