lol ... Gee, I don't know ... maybe soy products come from ... soy? (one of the devil's many illusions)
Soybeans are one of the most versatile natural products. Everything from paper to ink, packaging, food, I am sure there is clothing being developed (ifnot alreaedy here). (I say this because I have seen bamboo sheets, and they must be able to do the same with soy) soybeans are great. Tofu is made by making soymilk and pressing it after adding a coagulant, much like cheese. Other products you may be eating if you are vegetarian (try to vary your protein sources): seitan- comes from gluten, which is in wheat. Sometimes called "wheatmeat". Some Primal Strips Jerky is made from it. primal Strips are delicious tvp (textured vegetable protein) also comes from soy bean burgers lentils or beans in a stew/chili there are more but those are just a few
:lol: That's ok. I had a friend once who was convinced soy sauce was made from the mould scraped from the underside of eaves on houses in Japan, and had nothing to do with beans at all. I have no idea where she got that one from but it took her some convincing that it actually did come from soy beans.
Eh, don't worry about it. We all ask strange questions sometimes. My family teases me about the time I was pointing out a bird in our backyard. I shouted that I'd seen a cardinal, and everyone looked out & asked "where???" To which I ever so brilliantly answered "over there... it's red!" I am never gonna live that down. It's been 15 years, and they still tease me about red cardinals! love, mom
ha we have that stuff at work, and it scares me. I havent tried it yet, mainly because it smells like dog treats and looks like brains.
I'd love to see ONE source on the fabric. Statistically impossible. Bamboo is a grass, a cellulose fiber plant, like flax (linen) Hemp and cotton. Rayon is tree cellulose. Soy beans have soluable fiber, which is the fiber you eat to clear tour arteries (oatmeal, apples) not your bowels (celery, psyllium--cellulose)
Actually, you probably could... but do you have any idea how many stalks it would take to make a single yard of fabric? It's just not reasonably economical. I want a shirt made from woven cocoa-bean fibres love, mom
be awfully weak, and the water to cellulose ratio is really bad. Better off eating it and sweeping out yer...
actually, I found in odd news: tofu itself is extruded into a fiber used for teddy bears. Now, what is the energy return on investment for that? and do we want to use food for toys?
