Yikes!

Sit back and savor the beauty of this sentence.
Paul McCartney's ex-wife is donating $1 million worth of soy hamburgers, soy
hot dogs and soy chicken cutlets to one of the poorest neighborhoods in the
Bronx.

Let's deconstruct, shall we?

1- If your greatest claim to fame is that you are someones ex, you might have self-esteem problems to start with.

2- You can make something like a hamburger from soy protein. You can make something approximating an analog of a hot dog from soy protein. You can even shape a cutlet of sorts from soy. But there ain't no way that you can make chicken from soy. Chicken can only be made from dead birds.

3- $1M of food to one of the poorest neighborhoods in one of the richest countries in the world and it's got to be this dreck? That $1M could buy a lot of staples for those kids without feeding them beans all day.
She tells the New York Post that she wants to make sure children in the
neighborhood "have as many nutritional advantages as anyone else."

Well, then, buy them meal packs from Kids Against Hunger. Don't start them down the hamburger/hot dog/chickanugget path.
