I am already vegetarian, and know those well. I think most soy is unhealthy, but fermented soy is better- like tempeh. I love those quorn burgers personally because I get sick of tempeh and most veggie burgers have regular soy. They do have more sodium than I'd like for myself to eat regularly, but I'm not cutting them out of my diet.

Sorry this one sneaked past me!!
I would say it's probably better than meat, I don't know and couldn't really find a lot of info on it.
I agree with lindi that the sodium content may be problematic, but then again if he'll eat it happily that is worth something too!!!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
