William Shurtleff <strong>of</strong> Soyfoods <strong>Center</strong>.<br />

• Summary: A traditional American parlor game <strong>and</strong><br />

quiz show named “Twenty Questions” was based on the<br />

assumption that all things in the universe could be classifi ed<br />

as either animal, vegetable, or mineral. Clearly the <strong>soy</strong>bean<br />

is a vegetable, <strong>and</strong> it is most like a vegetable when served<br />

as edamamé or green vegetable <strong>soy</strong>beans. But <strong>soy</strong>bean pods<br />

<strong>and</strong> leaves are unusually hairy, <strong>and</strong> the <strong>soy</strong>bean can easily<br />

be transformed into alternatives to almost every known<br />

animal food product–more specifi cally into all kinds <strong>of</strong> meats<br />

<strong>and</strong> dairy products. It can be made into meatless burgers,<br />

hot dogs (wieners), breakfast sausages, beef jerky, bacon<br />

bits (such as Bac*Os) or meatless bacon, juicy chicken<br />

drumsticks or meatless chick nuggets, meatless steak, <strong>and</strong><br />

the like. Or it can be made into all the dairy alternatives such<br />

as <strong>milk</strong>, <strong>yogurt</strong>, ice cream, cheese, c<strong>of</strong>fee creamer, whip<br />

topping <strong>and</strong> the like.<br />

Soybean oil can also be made to imitate the greatest<br />

commodity <strong>of</strong> the 20th century: petroleum. We now have <strong>soy</strong><br />

ink, <strong>soy</strong> diesel fuel, <strong>soy</strong> resins, <strong>soy</strong> paints <strong>and</strong> varnishes, etc.<br />

Thus, <strong>of</strong> all the vegetables in the world, the <strong>soy</strong>bean is<br />

the most versatile–the most like an animal <strong>and</strong> the most like<br />

a vegetable. What will they think <strong>of</strong> next?<br />

Note: Twenty Questions began on radio in 1946, then<br />

played on television from Nov. 1949 until May 1955.<br />

future: The <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> wars are heating up. Part I (Interview).<br />

SoyaScan Notes. Aug. 10. Conducted by William Shurtleff <strong>of</strong><br />

Soyfoods <strong>Center</strong>.<br />

• Summary: After SoyaWorld was created in Vancouver<br />

(BC, Canada), because ProSoya was developing <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong><br />

in Vancouver, they needed a quick way to get <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> on<br />

the market. So they started negotiating with Ted to see if he<br />

could start sending <strong>soy</strong>base up to Vancouver from California.<br />

Then Sanitarium Foods (from Australia) came into the<br />

picture <strong>and</strong> threw a lot <strong>of</strong> money towards SoyaWorld,<br />

encouraging them to purchase a license to make So Good<br />

using <strong>soy</strong> protein isolates. This would also be Sanitarium’s<br />

entry into the USA <strong>and</strong> North America. SoyaWorld took<br />

this approach <strong>and</strong> because <strong>of</strong> Dairyworld Foods’ excellent<br />

distribution system, So Good has done very well in Canada.<br />

Their aim is to work down into the United States; they<br />

have been trying to negotiate with Suiza Foods Corp., but<br />

Suiza has its own ideas. Ted has heard that Sanitarium is<br />

involved in a lawsuit over its So Good <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>, perhaps with<br />

SoyaWorld, because they believe that SoNice is an infraction<br />

on the name <strong>of</strong> their So Good product–the names SoNice <strong>and</strong><br />

So Good are too close.<br />

Soy is really getting into the mainstream now. Ted’s<br />

company has done a lot <strong>of</strong> market studies in supermarkets<br />

<strong>and</strong> the presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> is “essentially zero.” The big<br />

change will take place over the next year as <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> starts<br />

to enter the dairy case <strong>of</strong> supermarkets. Ted is aware that<br />

Horizon has its eyes on this market. SoyaWorld is powerful,<br />

but they are up against Dean Foods, Suiza, <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong>s. Wait<br />

until November or December <strong>of</strong> this year to see what is<br />

going to happen. Ted may be part <strong>of</strong> the action or he may get<br />

squashed–like the bug under your carpet.
