Heard That Consuming too much soy might not be healthy.

Well – darn. Why are these people messing with our soy? What are we supposed to eat if soy lands on the taboo list along with everything else? Here’s where we are today:

~ Grains are taboo because the costs are rising faster than our budgets are. Grains are now needed for energy production while global warming is helping to destroy grain crops globally. Prices go up as supply goes down. Grains are moving onto the “not an option” list in many homes.

~ Veggies are all on the salmonella recall list this week, aren’t they? There was that tomato salmonella problem, that turned out not to be caused by tomato, that nobody knows what might be causing it today. Tomato plants are a member of the fruit family, and this almost indicates that both veggies and fruits should be on the “not” list until somebody figures out why hundreds of people are getting sick.

All of this governmental monitoring of food leaves me a bit annoyed. We’re told what to buy, what to eat, when to throw our food out, and normally we’re told all of these things spaced out in between fast food commercials that explain how we need to treat ourselves to brand “x” if we want to find real happiness.

During the tomato salmonella scare this country destroyed thousands of pounds of good food in an effort to keep the US safe; while so many are starving on this planet. Salmonella is destroyed when people cook their food. If we didn’t want the food, shouldn’t it have been offered to those that did want it?

Well… phooey. This new soy news is all too thought provoking. I better go get out my spoon and finish off my soy ice cream before I forget where I left that spoon last. Or worse!!!
