2. As for me

I wish that ANY of them were made with something that did not result in (ahem) extremely unpleasant side effects. The Boca, Morningstar Farms, and Gardein are all made with soy protein, to which I react in a most unpleasant way. You do not want to know. I had real hopes for the Beyond Burger, as it is made with something else...pea protein. OMG....an hour later, and in a most difficult place, too. Now, the fake chicken that is made with Quorn is not TOO bad. (But please don't suggest tempeh...I also have a gluten sensitivity.) Life has become difficult as my immune system has overreacted to 4 major abdominal surgeries in 9 months.
