      Yeah, I know. It’s too bad there is no economic incentive to keep quality high.

      Instead sysco, the people who supply something like 90% of us restaurants keeps on making more and more money y/y by adding soybean filler and other shit to their meat. They always find a way to make the change with an excuse like “prices are high right now” - and then they never, EVER go back to how it was unless it’s cheaper. Soybeans never get cheaper, we just keep subsidizing them so sysco can keep using them as filler.

      Anyway…

        That soy filler is the bane of my existence. I’m intolerant to legumes, and I’m pretty sure soy additives are the reason almost all manufactured foods affect me. In theory, I should be able to eat bread, but it’s very rare to find any that doesn’t include soy.

        I’m pretty sure all my “gluten free” family are actually reacting to the soy too.
