Being related to early organic gardeners, I haven't eaten much soy. Not eating much soy, but eating food that is mostly home grown does have it's problems. One of my cousins a few years ago fathered twins, the first in my generation to do so. In each of the last 3 generations however this has happened. He was 60. We eat what our Forefathers ate, and I am learning the benefits of not taking exercise, we do physical work, if you can imagine it. I was with my Dad the other day, he is slowing down, he only does physical hard work, you know digging and planting and cutting wood, for 6 hours a day, he was born in 1919 BTW. I notice he keeps his fingers farther from the axe when he is cutting kindling. My cousin died recently, a life of Cream and butter and good Canadian Beef and cheese and home grown veggies did her in, that and her kids took her television away, while she was in the hospital. She was ailing for several weeks and when they gave her a walker she just seemed to lose hope. She was born in 1906. I think we could alleviate a lot of the problems with oil shortages if you folks would give up oil based food products and eat you know stuff from the ground like sweet taters and corn meal cakes and maple syrup and snap peas with free range chickens, cows, and pigs. Take the oil out of your diet, see if your cholesterol goes down.... Folks didn't have bad cholesterol before they started to eat fake food.

An I tell ya bacon, eggs and some of them home made biscuits make living to a hundred worth while. Who wants to live to be a hundred while living off imitation food.
