The you were my inspiration! Really, I am very glad I did it because it is soooo easy.
Honestly, that is not going to do much damage. But there are people who have a soy latte for breakfast, along with a tofu omelet. Then at lunch, they have tofu in a tossed salad. Then for dinner they have fried tofu with soy sauce, and possibly soy-based ice cream. BAD. People who choose soy protein isolates for working out (because it is cheaper) are getting a gut full of toxins over time. The trypsins in soy is messing with their protein metabolism. And of course for men, there are the isoflavones (phytoestrogens).
Agreed. I do not look to the government and especially not the FDA for nutritional guidance. They are bought and paid for by the agri-business lobbies. They will actually sell the stamp of approval even for poisons like aspartame (NutraSweet), cow's milk which has been put on the human food pyramid, processed grains like breads and cookies, sodas, textured vegetable protein fillers, and
1-METHYLCYCLOPROPENE gas which is pumped into fresh fruit to preserve it for longer. This is why it is important to get to know intimately what the foods are that you eat. Not out of fear, but out of a desire to live the longest, healthiest life you can live.
Exactly true. I only buy organic free range eggs which are always brown and slightly irregular in coloring. Some of the so-called "free range" brown eggs in the markets look like dyed white eggs. I do not trust them. I am now looking for semi-local sources for eggs because I tend to have them for a long time in the fridge before I use them all.
I stopped eating In N Out for other reasons, but the real reason is because I cannot control what ingredients are used. I still occasionally cheat there for lunch becauseit is right across the street from where I work (a rare conjunction in SoCal). I can walk there in less than 10 minutes.
Most recently I stopped because of political reasons. It worked during my Atkins diet phase at that time and before. Now, I know even more about nutrition as I have become aware of the foods I eat. I want to know where my water is coming from, what is in it, etc. I want to know what the supply chain for the meat coming to my local Albertsons is. I ask the questions and get answers most of the time. But every time I have been asked why I am asking the questions.
You are a farmer? COOOOOL!
