On Wednesday, March 16, 2011, the American Soybean
Association (ASA) hosted the Ninth Annual Congressional Soyfoods
Lunch on Capitol Hill. For more than an hour, a steady stream of
hungry guests flowed in two lines filling their plates with a
variety of soyfoods. House Ag Committee Ranking member Collin
Peterson (D-MN), Representative Bob Gibbs (R-OH) and Rep. Mike
Quigley (D-IL) were among the approximately 350 guests this year.
Media participation
included AgriPulse editor Sara Wyant and Senior Editor Stewart
Doan. Guests were treated to a buffet that included: Solae Beef
Primavera; Dilly Carrot Soup with Plenish™ Oil; Caprese Salad with
Soybean Walnut Pesto; Chocolate Pudding Pies made with tofu; Soy
Toffee Bars; Soy Joy and Soy Apple Chai Latte.
This
annual luncheon is an ideal forum for ASA and sponsoring
partners to showcase products and demonstrate the importance
of soyfoods to sound nutrition.
