Thank you for the recommendation. I do eat *regular* pasta about half the time but also eat the protein plus pasta by Barilla or lentil pasta if I have it. Anything to increase fiber in the diet is good with me.2

I pretty much think soy is poison and should be avoided at all costs so that doesn't sound very healthy to me.0

I don't care about soy since I rarely eat it even as an additive or filler, and I do not adopt food "theories." I just eat what I want.
But, "soy is poison" is not a completely goofy idea. In fact, books, scholarly articles, nutrition related blogs and an awful lot of commentators have made this statement. And, it seems that the fact "more than 90% of US produced soy is GMO" is not really contested. That alone would make "soy is poison" a reasonable observation for some people if not taken literally.
For my part, GMO is alright with me as long as it is not Chinese scientists that are doing the "M" part of the acronym since they have proven themselves to be unconcerned with food safety.7 -

If one really believes that GMO soy is poison, then they should be more concerned with the fact that it is mainly given to the animals in our food supply and not with the tiny fraction of soy that is diverted into soy pasta.
Yet we never really see people jumping into threads about beef or dairy to warn about this "danger." Really makes you think.18 -
it would be a sad day is pasta was really poisonous...i eat it probably at least 3-4 times a week, if not daily - most of the time 2(ish) servings (as it fits my cals)1

I've never seen a scholarly article say "soy is poison." Do you have an example? Maybe we simply have different understandings of "scholarly."
As for "books...nutrition related blogs and an awful lot of commentators" -- I can think of a lot of ridiculous statements about which this would be true.
I am not personally concerned about GMOs (and what Jane says above), but worth noting that the product this thread is about (and that the quoted comment referred to) is labeled "organic," which means under the labeling requirements it cannot be GMO anyway.12 -

That's a good point, the whole GMO thing is moot due to the nature of this particular product. It's like jumping into a thread about organic beef jerky with concerns about sub-therapeutic antibiotic usage in cows.5 -

No... just no. Soy is not poison to the vast majority of humanity.
It is poison to me, but that is because I have developed an allergy to it and my body swiftly rejects anything made with soy protein, soy flour, or other wonderful soy products. It is not fun. Happened to me yesterday when I didn't read the ingredients on something close enough (damn you soy protein isolate!).
But I miss tofu. And soy sauce. And edamame. And not having to look at every single ingredient on every single item because so much is made with some sort of soy product that it is sort of stupid.11 -
I eat a lot of soy and pasta it's all good feeling healthy. I have tried chickpea pasta but I prefer regular wholewheat. Plus I'm on a budget and cant aford fancy pasta for 31
