I consider myself to be of normal intelligence but I sure got fooled by the AD HYPE on SOY!
I started this blog, Milking the Bean, as a way to share and remember recipes and procedures regarding the making of soy milk and other products. I used to have a Jersey Cow who gave rich milk which my family drank. We made butter, yogurt, cheese, ice cream and anything else we could think of. It was very satisfying work. I expected the same from milking the bean!
It is so easy to be fooled. Most folks think they are doing themselves a favor by drinking soy milk! I did! But after google-ing "soy and problems" I was horrified. Soy is an anti-nutrient!
Archer Daniels Midland is laughing all the way to the bank. Every day new soy products are being advertised as the HEALTHY alternative. If you do some looking on the web regarding the problems with soy products, you will find that the only soy products you should be eating are the fermented soy products (tempeh, natto)! Any other form of soy is NOT good for you.
Another concern is that soybean is GENETICALLY MODIFIED and this plant being grown all over the place! That cannot be good for us. No one knows what the consequences will be. Cancer rates are rising. No one feels whole or healthy anymore, so we keep looking for "the healthy alternative". Our youngest people have never known another way of being.
The world was different place back in the 80s when I got up every morning to milk. I didn't need to do a whole lot of research on the internet. The old timers in town could tell me anything I needed to know. And as far as a legacy of knowledge surrounding cows and milk--it's been around forever. We know the problems and benefits.
I think I want to get my cow back. I want my world back.
Wish me luck?
