Debunk this: Veggie burgers are toxic
The blog post is poorly-written sensationalistic drivel, but it's also being promoted across the web. Anyone feel like tackling it?

The author thinks that the use of hexane in extraction results in high volumes of hexane in finished product, and all sorts of other silliness.

I have nothing that debunks this, but I have had a few veggie burgers and I am still alive (I know anecdotal evidence) but I wasn't rushed to the hospital for the "toxic" slabs of "meat". Also, the commenters and author have a pretty loose definition of what a poison is.
