SOY MANY CHOICES: Soybeans grown in U.S. fields are quickly becoming ingredients in many products, from foam insulation to carpet backing.
Builder Matt Belcher often uses soy-based spray foam to insulate the attics of homes he builds in St. Louis. It costs about the same, installs about the same, and insulates about the same as spray foam insulation made entirely of petrochemicals. But there are two big differences. Unlike petroleum products, soybeans are a U.S.-produced renewable resource, and the spray foam he uses doesn't emit as much toxic gas as traditional spray foam insulation.

| Most of America's major soybean crushing companies (as detailed in Chapter 56) also eventually became producers of soy protein products. In this chapter we will discuss a number of smaller but important pioneering companies who made their greatest contributions in soy protein products, even though several of them (Glidden, Griffith??) also had soybean crushing operations.
