World Running Out Of Soybeans?

And that's a bad thing how? Deep state worried that there won't be enough phyto-estrogens left to emasculate every man in this country?

It is used as an animal feed. Herd lot operators will have to thin out their herds. In two years the price of meat will go up.

I haven't been able to eat boughten bread for at least 10 years, because it all has soybean oil in it now, which I avoid like the plague. Just about any baked food item from the grocery store has it.

I know what soy is supposed to be used for but, have you heard of soy latte, soy milk, soy burgers, ad infinitum? Why do you suppose this rampant homosexuality, transvestism, and general insanity is happening now?

Look at the skinny-armed little faggots burning down the cities. It sure as hell ain't me, Doug, Tommy, etc. Take the leash off the real men that haven't been feminized with soy (edit: and communist indoctrination formerly known as college), and we'll get the shit done.

(Also edit;) Me, contractor, my buddy Jay, truck driver and landlord, the retired Marine, renter, and his son, Army, due to ship out to Korea in a month, spent the day repairing Jay's really fucked up chain link fence on the Marine's rental.

There was so friggin' much testosterone flowing that neighbor women were hanging around wanting to look at real men (pathetic, although one was a really decent looking gal).

Jay and I are really too olde and busted up to be fucking around with shit like that, but by God, we made it happen. Turned out a lot better than I imagined.

The Marine's girly-friend wants a puppy for Xmas. That's why.

A good day for a change.

You should eat as much soy as you want if you want to turn into a girl and be PMSing your life away.

I don't eat soybean oil, any hydrogenated oil, or high fructose corn syrup. Food costs a little more when you avoid that stuff, but not so much more that anyone should ever HAVE to eat that stuff.

Haven't eaten a doughnut in over 30 years.

I don't travel much any more, but back when I did, finding wholesome food to eat was a challenge. Restaurants generally can't be trusted.

You're probably a helluva lot smarter on that stuff than I am. I know soy and that friggin' HFCS are no-go zones for me. As far as oils go, I pretty much stick to real butter and bacon grease that I save.

(Edit:) My primary sweetener is stevia. I read that it's supposed to make you sterile or something, at my age, that's not a big concern.

Damn, you're an oddball. At least that's what everybody tells me.

(Edit) I've had the sheet pulled over my head so many times, I can't tell ya, but somehow I'm still here.

Twice I came close enough to death that it changed my life. Not as close as you -- they didn't pull the sheet over my head -- but closer than I wanted to get.

Years ago when our twins were born seriously premature, the neonatal intensive care nurse gave my wife and me one of those old Polaroid cameras that develops the picture right at the camera. "Take all the pictures you want", she said. I said well, they're not going to look very cute with all those tubes running in and out of them everywhere. "Just take some pictures of your babies", she said. So we did. I didn't realize until the next day that she was trying to tell us that our babies might not live through the night, and that might be the only pictures we would ever have. That kind of thing changes you. Forever.

I was talking figuratively, not literally, but I guess that when an MD tells you, or your wife of 25 years, that you're a goner, you're supposed to just get with the program.

I've always been a stubborn bastard.

You know it's serious when, before your surgery, the doctor talks to your wife privately out in the hall, and then your wife comes back in and says "Tell me again where all the PMs are stashed?"
