Soyfoods Canada

A number of media outlets in the US are reporting that soy has been linked to lower sperm count.

Perhaps now is the time to point out that it's a preliminary study of 100 men who were already having trouble conceiving a child. Might also be the time to direct attention to geographic regions where populations have been consuming soy with no implications on reproduction for billions of years like, say, CHINA.

Or maybe soyfood companies should just go with it and start directing marketing at teenagers...

Contrary to everything you might believe about the land of beef cattle, I'm submitting EDMONTON ALBERTA as my pic for the most veg-friendly place in Canada.

Not only are there excellent vegetarian restaurants, but unique substitution options. Do you want to subsitute soy chicken for real chicken in your order of butter chicken or chicken souvlaki? No problem!

By far the most interesting option was Padmanadi, an amazing eatery with a full Asian menu offering ONLY veg meats. Everything from chicken to shrimp to tofu on the menu, the substitutes are uncanny and everything we had was delicious. It's one of those places that seems to good to be true, leaving us vegetarians wondering if there's going to be a tummy ache at the end of the night due to meat protein that somehow snuck its way in. There was no digestive problem. The best thing about this place is that my meat-eating friends were the ones to suggest it - they were pretty stoked to get in on the trend.

Anyone else aware of great veg/soy-friendly restaurant gems in other parts of the country?
