Hybrid burgers

So, soy-conglomerate Solae has invented a better burger. Half the meat, all the flavor. This is good news for those of us who love our beefy burgers, but would like to cut back on the fat and calories (for whatever reason), and there's also the bonus of adding soy protein to the diet.

Let's not go crazy with the idea, however....

There are a lot of people who try to cut back on meat... Just think — if half your meat is soy, you can have twice as many portions.

--Marcia Mogelonsky, senior research analyst Mintel International

Really, Marcia, is that a good idea?

That's akin to saying you can eat all the Snackwells or all the Wow! chips you want. Truth is, very few of us can afford to double up on our portions, no matter how much of it is soy.

Take note, Mintel, such a statement steps beyond the bounds and could get you a spanking from the food police. This time, I'd agree with them.
