My farm boy cousin had a college prof tell him that farmers would not be needed in the future. We would synthesize all our food out of soy beans.

An overload of phytoestrogens from soy will wreak havoc with the human body.

Also, soy requires more processing (and more this more agriculural industrial infrastructure) for those "natural" foods -- tofu, oil, "soymilk" etc.

You can get REAL milk and REAL meat from a cow -- no processing required!

Probably true. The point was the prof hadn't thought this thro far enough to consider the source of soy beans.
