President-elect Barack Obama is being asked to intervene in the state he represented in the U.S. Senate to halt a prison "feeding program" that is causing health problems for inmates, according to a nutrition organization.
In an open letter to Obama, Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, said the existing procedures are "poisoning" inmates.
Obama, Morell wrote, should "focus on a grave injustice taking place in the prisons of your home state, namely, a prison diet that is slowly killing the inmates assigned to the Illinois Department of Corrections.
"This is a diet based largely on soy protein powder and soy flour. As you stated on last night's 60 Minutes Program, America does not condone torture. I think you would agree that what is happening in the Illinois prisons is a form of torture," Fallon wrote.

Soy ping!
If there were any truth to this, then all of California would be dead.

Yep... but just wait until its illegal aliens, Muslims, and other “special interest groups” that are “dying”....then Obama will tell Illinois to stop feeding the criminals “soy”
Then it's obviously true.........It rots the brain..........
Feed them bacon.
Soy-lent Green is killing people Wendy!
As far as I’m concerned they can have the Joe Arapaio diet, every meal, every day - baloney sandwiches. Soy or otherwise.
I have a soft spot for this article. Back when I was a liberal atheist I tried on various forms of idolitry and nutrition was one of them. I became a big fan of the Weston Price Foundation. The gist of their message is that dietary problems are not caused by too much fat, but by touch much modern processed foods such as refined sugars and polyunsaturated (or hydrogenated) vegetable oils.
I’d feed them cold beans, rice, oatmeal potatoes and a vitamin pill, every meal of every day of their internment.
soy sauce board them.....
I’d just feed them the diet Bloomberg is trying to impose on New Yorkers—should be torture enough.
There may be a connection in California to soy and gay/lesbianism.
And there does seem to be a lot of "brotherly love" going on in the Illinois prison system. Even wifes and girfriends of ex cons complain their hubby/boyfriends are always sneaking out late at night going on "the down low".
Maybe Obama himself eats soy come to think of it...
Feed them tofu.
It is made from soy.
Is a staple in many parts of the world, so no health questions.
Tastes like ****, so would also be a punishment for the prisoners.
That is soy gay!
Good. O gets his comeuppance by having every adoring worshiper ask that their imagined grievance be addressed.
Torture? The definition of torture has been twisted to far. Almost any form of discomfort or embarrasment is considered torture nowadays.
