I did not know this about Soy. I've never ate it, but have lately thought of adding it to diet. You hear so much about it, and benefits are always being touted. But Jesus H. Christ...who wants to turn into a woman? Wait a minute? You only live once. What is wrong with being a woman??? Well...it might be ok for some people. But the very idea makes real men grab at the nearest whiskey bottle. ;-)

I posted the article on soy more for the point about government micromanagement and the influence of industry groups than for the benefits of soy. I keep soy milk in the house. I find it convenient and tasty. For someone who grocery shops for one, it's nice to have a product that is shelf stable before opening and lasts a while after opening. I don't ever have to think about running out of milk, especially when it snows. I use soy milk on cereal and for cooking. I'm not likely to switch back. I also keep frozen soybeans around for snacks. I like tofu, but I don't cook it. I hate to cook, so when I do, it's going to be something with more pizzazz than tofu. But I do eat tofu in restaurants. It seems reasonable to me that soy milk be available as part of school menus.
