Food & Life Reduce calories, do not grow man breasts

I've never cared much for potato chips — not the greasy grocery-store kind or the greasy gourmet kind made in restaurants and served with fancy grown-up dips.
And I don't usually like "health food" that substitutes for junk food, either. But I really like these baked, lightly salted soy crisps from Glenny's. I've tried several other brands, and none tastes as good as these.
A 1.3-oz. bag is only 140 calories and contains 10 grams of protein. The soy used is not genetically modified (whatever that means). And, as far as I know, it's not enough soy to cause growth of man breasts.
I don't like the ones flavored with apple-cinnamon and cheese powder. The straight-up salted ones (and the salt-and-pepper ones) are the best.
I just ran a Google search and found I'm not alone in my appreciation of them. Even Dunkin' Donuts' own purported terrorist loves them:
