Big Agra Strikes Again!: Dangers of Soy

If you eat or drink soy products--and especially if you feed them to your children!--the link below is a must read. But first, a little background on the soybean . . .

In a nutshell, soy was originally used to help put nitrogen back into the soils that were depleted from the less than sustainable practices of modern American agriculture. The soybean plant is very good at enriching soils with nitrogen, which is necessary to have a healthy soil. That led to the soy being the second most abundant "crop" in America (behind corn, which is NOT A VEGETABLE, people. It's a grain. Yes, that matters, but that's for another post!).

So what do you do when you're Big Agra and, by necessity, you have a lot of soy? Well, apparently, you market it as a healthy alternative to meat. Those folks at Big Agra are geniuses. But if the following is true . . . they are Evil Geniuses.
