Are soy burgers/ nuggets really just tofu?

Last night I had meatballs made of soy and textured vegetable protein. I often have soy nuggets. I know tofu is made of soy somehow and so is Tempeh... so what do they make fake meat out of?


what;s the difference between the 3? (Tempeh, Tofu and whatever meatless meat is made of)|||no, they are highly processed and have a lot more chemicals


example is the Morningstar veggie burger


just a few things listed from the website that might be worrisome:





TEXTURED SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE


CORN OIL


AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT


VEGETABLE GUM


MALTODEXTRIN


SOY FIBER


SALT


CARRAGEENAN


POTATO STARCH


DISODIUM INOSINATE


DISODIUM GUANYLATE


KONJAC FLOUR


SUNFLOWER OIL


SESAME SEED OIL


SOY SAUCE (WATER, SOYBEANS, WHEAT, SALT)


MODIFIED CORN STARCH
