There's a slow poison out there that's severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it's a "health food," one of our most popular. Now, I'm a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it's organic. I state my bias here just so you'll know I'm not anti-health food.
The dangerous food I'm speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they're all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.
I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.
Estrogens are female hormones. If you're a woman, you're flooding your system with a substance it can't handle in surplus. If you're a man, you're suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.
In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.
If you're a grownup, you're already developed, and you're able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren't so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you're giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby's endocrine system just can't cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.
Snip.......
Does this article represent the general conservative view? I know that eating soy = not some sort of tree hugger mentality around here, but it's just a food product - now it's making people gay? This is truly laughable and conservatives are being laughed at because of it.
By the way, the conservative view of being gay is that it's wired that way from birth, correct? It's acting out that gayness that is a huge problem and a choice, right? It has nothing to do with food intake, right?
Liberals are not liberal.
We ate soybeans when I was a kid........hmmm.........
Too much soy is also known to supress thyroid function. I think a little soy in the diet is probably healthy, because is is low-fat protien. But, like everything else, it should be taken in moderation.
Tuti-Fruiti Tofuti?.........

As a man who ingests a lot of soy products, I am not concerned about this in the least. In fact, I am more than happy with my new breasts. They're very perky!
And who anointed you the spokesman for conservatives?
The idea of it being a pure choice is also silly. I'm not gay because I chose not to be gay, I'm not gay because I've never had the slightest sexual interest in other men.
Heck, I wish I WAS Gay - I'd get laid much more easily, dress better, and have a better decorated apartment.
Perinatal testosterone masculinizes.
Perinatal estrogen, contrary to conventional (but erroneous) wisdom, also masculinizes.
Adult administration of estrogen to normal males, in large doses, can feminize certain structures, e.g., gynecomastia.
Adult administration of estrogen to normal males does not feminize behavior.
I have a friend who believe that the government should put poison in all the vegetables, and the antidote in meat.
Don't worry: The antidote is readily available at the friendly, neighborhood butcher shop.

Never heard this before. This article sounds a little off the wall to me.

LOL!!!
Thanks for the laugh!
Well, it IS from World Net Daily. Being off the wall is a given.
A lot of conservatives long for "the good old days" when "men were men and women were in the kitchen getting them dinner and a beer".
So yes, conservatives are looking for some way to turn back the clock. Unfortuneately for them, banning soy is not going to do it.
Technology has made it more important to be smart and patient, than strong and manly. What that means, women are getting to be more and more equal in most aspects of society.
My peep has been on the fritz lately. Must be the soy.
