Let’s do what the media does and check out some of the bad news first. Obviously the B.P. oil spill which is destroying the livelihood and environment of thousands of ‘small people’ as the CEO of that company called them, is high on the list. But look at http://www.wimp.com/oilspills/ and you will see the SAME headlines, the SAME excuses, the SAME failures and months of damage because of the oil spill, in the Gulf, thirty years ago.

In spite of all the research of the past ten years it is clear that the PR of the soy producers has swamped the voices of truth and science with great success, as often happens in America. And the results are now becoming serious enough for even the medical profession to begin to take notice in their journals.

This week we had a visitor who is very conscious of her diet and really does her best to eat healthful food. So I was somewhat astonished when she began describing the part that soy products have in some of her favorite recipes.
