Peter, I buy TVP from The Whole Earth Catalogue of Lumen Foods.I found this
source in a vegetarian magazine. CSPI (Center for Science in the Public
Interest, cited in senate hearings as experts) have applauded TVP as a
healthy alternative to meat.On page four of the Lumen booklet, they state
that their products contain no MSG. If you see a back-up advantage to this
for the hiker-camper-shopper, the catalogue can be had at 1-800-256-2253.
I have made my viewpoint that some animal protein is necessary to highest
human health clear, I think(each in his own moccasins)--but I would venture
to say that our shaggy coated forbears would have experienced many times
when they would have clonked you in the head for a cupfull of prepared TVP,
and not ruined their brain tissue because of it! (lazy, like me :)
Pat
