I believe it is largely the soy in so much processed food that is the problem. The soy in so many products does, as you say, feminize boys but also gives middle-aged women too much estrogen which contributes to breast cancer.

Exactly what I have - metastasized breast cancer. That is what has driven my search. I make more and more of my own bread, baked goods, etc. Rarely eat out. Cook meals with foods I've read the labels on. It's a lot of work, more so than it needs to be. The only bread I've found here without soy is Martins Potato bread. I like homemade bread, it's mainly the investment in time that keeps me from making it more than a couple times a month.

Soy as the basis for everything has long been a goal of the communists/socialists, and they appear to be very successful here. International foods in our grocery stores don't seem to have nearly as much soy (except in chocolate - it's almost impossible to buy any chocolate except dry cocoa now without soy as the emulsifier.

Also, among other problems with highly processed foods, one big problem is that the processing destroys the nutritional value (vitamins, etc) in the foods. A lot of the food produced in factories is nothing more than empty calories. It may taste good, but it isn't giving the body what it needs to maintain good health.
