How Green Is Tofu?

This article caught my attention and I learned something new about soy and tofu.  I'm not much of a tofu fan, but I have been known to indulge in edamame (soybeans) or tempeh (soy cake) every now and then.  I've often wondered about the environmental impact of soy- wondering if some rainforest was being flattened for my edamame snack.  Well, this article is a brief overview, but it answers the basic questions. 

So, give this a read before you bite into that Boca Burger.  Perhaps, the goal is not to find a synthetic meat substitute, but to eat natural protein sources like legumes and rice, nuts, etc.  Just some food for thought....
