I do, however, eat other soy products and I like it!
Disclaimer: Every time I see a thread about soy, I have minor concerns. Please be aware that soy inhibits your body's ability to take in certain nutrients (magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, etc.), contributes to blood clots and disrupts thyroid function. Also, soy should NEVER EVER EVER EVER be given to babies and children. It is EXTREMELY dangerous because of its effect on hormone production.
Just go easy on it and don't make it your primary protein.

Isn't boiling them in salted water the only way to prepare them? Someone tell me because I thought that was the only way to cook them and eat them.
Blah blah blah....health concerns shmealth concerns. I really don't think anyone on here eats edamame (besides me, anyway) often enough to have any negative effect on their body. I get bags of edamame for less than a buck a pound when it's on sale and many regular bars here serve edamame for pupus and such. I eat it at least a coupla times a week and have been doing so for many years now.
I have yet to have problems with my organs and hormones.
