Yeah, a lot of synth food is made from soya beans + flavouring. Reason: soy
beans are high in nutritional content, and once pressed, fairly tasteless and
easily shaped.
However, I don't think ALL the synth products are soya based, so it's probably
become slang for any type of synthetic food, most of which are probably
chemically derived.
