This is so true and upsetting all at once.  Take a moment to read about this study.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> &#8230;For these studies, the wrappers of 155 PowerBars were modified to say either &#8220;Contains 10 grams of protein&#8221; or &#8220;Contains 10 grams of soy protein.&#8221;  The only difference between the two labels was one prominent, three-letter word, &#8220;soy.&#8221;  In reality, there was no soy protein in this PowerBar.  Exactly zero.  It was a phantom ingredient.  If after eating one of these PowerBars, people believed they tasted soy, they would be mindlessly responding to the power of suggestion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, just to recap, there is NO SOY in these bars.  Some just claimed to have in on the label.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People were given the bars (which were introduced as a new product) and asked to take a look at the package, and then to try them.  The people who ate the bars with the label &#8220;Contains 10 grams of protein&#8221; described the bars favorably: They said they were chocolaty, chewy, and tasty.  The other people, the ones who had been given the bars with &#8220;10 grams of soy protein&#8221; were not so positive.  Many spit out the bar, or excused themselves to get a drink of water.  One man passed a piece of gum to his wife so that both could get the taste out of their mouths.  When asked what they thought, they claimed that the bars had a bad aftertaste, were chalky, and didn&#8217;t even taste like chocolate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have experienced this in real life.  Most people who eat at my house are eating a soy product.  I usually choose not to share this information (I know they aren&#8217;t allergic or anything) because as soon as they find out, people start complaining about aftertastes or something being &#8220;off&#8221;.  When they don&#8217;t know, they go on and on about how its the best ____ they&#8217;ve ever had.  I&#8217;ve even had it where people were asking for fourths or fifths of a dish and asked about ingredients and I&#8217;d mention soy-something and they&#8217;d change their mind on wanting more.  Rawr!<\/p>\n<p>Apparently soy has two strikes when you&#8217;re dealing with men, because they also think it is a sissy food.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;We soon discovered that personality identification explains why it&#8217;s harder to get men to eat soy than women.  To the strong, traditional, macho, biceps-flexing, all-American male, red meat is a strong, traditional, macho, biceps-flexing, all-American food.  Soy is not.  To eat it, they would have to give up a food they saw as strong and powerful, like themselves, for a food they saw as weak and wimpy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hel-lo, if you feel that you are not macho enough to eat soy, then methinks the soy is not the issue, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I don&#8217;t think soy is the perfect food.  I think that many of the fake meats and such are quite nutritionally questionable.  Still, I find it pretty fascinating that people have such a strong reaction to soy.  Its in practically everything we eat, but somehow it spooks people out.  Its so strange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugh! This is so true and upsetting all at once.
