Out of curiosity, do you have examples of what they've made? I've avoided some TS restaurants because of the lack of options, or the lack of appealing options. E.g. I know Carthay Circle can do a stack of vegetables, but that's never sounded appealing to me (since I could easily cook vegetables and bring that from home for far less $$$). I've done BB and RBT as the other TS restaurants, which have decent veg options.
Totally imagining a carrot dipped in corndog batter... Could be good, no?
https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/confused-about-eating-soyCan you enlighten me about why a person would avoid soy products. I have not heard of what would cause that to be, so I'm just trying to learn. TIA!
Happiest Vegan on Earth is an awesome resource!

I'm vegetarian and my family eats faux meat & tofu products with me all time time. We loved all the food options on our last visit in April, but it was the food & wine festival so a lot were temporary.
I know you had originally asked the question of me, but I’ve been away on vacation. Anyway, I don’t personally eat soy due to the estrogen-like content because I have fibroids, which feed off estrogen. I don’t like feeding soy to my two young sons either as there has been some evidence that it can interrupt normal hormone production/function, especially in males.Thank each of you, so much. I did not know that about soy / soy products. I don't (knowingly) each soy products but this has given me a reason to think about it. Again, many thanks.

I love meatless ‘fake meat’ options- let’s bring on more veggie burgers, etc.
My realtor said growing up ok their farm they wouldn’t even feed the animals soy.
I don’t know why they can’t just call it vegan or ovo-lacto vegetarian.
Plant *based* makes me nervous. Like it’s mainly plant, but maybe they’ll add in something else.
...made without animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey.
I think they are using the term plant based because they aren't guaranteeing separate cooking spaces for everything."Plant based" is the buzz-phrase of the day. It usually means vegan, and I think that's what Disney is using the phrase to mean. The blog post says
My guess is that the term "vegan" just doesn't do as well in focus groups, so the marketers came up with "plant based". Everyone loves plants, right?
Though... now I wonder... will they start labeling the other foods "animal based"? "critter based"?
But one does wonder how China has lasted so long with such a big population, if soy was as bad as Americans make it out to be.
That's a good point. I also think people think of vegan as a lifestyle and not a choice you might make for a meal here and there. I'm not a vegetarian anymore, but I'm excited to have more options.I think they are using the term plant based because they aren't guaranteeing separate cooking spaces for everything.
Yes! That is the downside of the impossibles and the beyonds. I miss having regular veggie burgers on the menu.As a non-meat-eater, I’m delighted to have more choice, but we seem to be losing some classics along the way. In particular, the WDW Restaurantosaurus Black Bean Burger which was my absolute go-to lunch, has now been replaced by a plant based meat-substitute
I would have thought a lot of vegetarians/vegans actually don’t want to eat something that tastes like meat. I do eat meat but I love veggie burgers that are not fake meat, but are made from beans or lentils or grains.Yes! That is the downside of the impossibles and the beyonds.

Same here. I am a meat eater, but will sometimes enjoy a good veggie patty that emphasizes the veggies/grain flavors. I don’t really have a lot of interest in “fake meat“ that is attempting to replicate meat. But I don’t think I am the target for this, so I might be in the minority.I do eat meat but I love veggie burgers that are not fake meat, but are made from beans or lentils or grains.
