Dawn – looks delicious! Your instructional videos are a wonderful resource, and the one you posted is definitely helping the soy foods cause.

I agree with both of you as well, they is much more talk than action.

Even with myself sometimes, I want to eat and live a healthy life but sometimes that takes a lot of work, in an already way too busy day.

That being said, we still try to make a major effort, eating most meals at home, using the best ingredients we can afford.

I also agree with the tofu comment, I really like tofu and it is quite under-rated. Here is my favorite recipe – it’s called Indonesain Tofu http://rouxbe.com/recipes/29-indonesian-tofu/preview

As much as I advocate for the Canadian food experience, and have the purchasing ability to “put my money where my mouth is”, inevitably, a good number of items that I regularly buy don’t represent the values that I speak of. So many influences on my purchasing. Kids, spouse, time, prices, convenience…

Dana, I agree! More delicious soy recipes are needed. My job is to understand the chemistry and functionality of food proteins. But that said, no matter what fabulous technology I or my colleagues come up with, if it doesn’t taste good, no one is going to eat it. Perhaps I should think about some recipes…

So glad you make the point that there is a gap between intention and action with consumers. It’s very true that many intend to do good things (cook, eat healthfully, etc) more than we actually follow through.

Amy, I agree that tofu is under used and under appreciated by Canadians. I think there is a problem with understanding how to make it delicious. Canadians need more good recipes featuring soy!
