Actually They Come From China

Real men don’t eat soy products in any form! Could the recent higher use of soy products be part of the cause of the feminization of our men/boys?

“It goes without saying that future patterns of sexual orientation may also be influenced by the early hormonal environment. Pediatricians are noticing greater numbers of boys whose physical maturation is delayed, or does not occur at all, including lack of development of the sexual organs. Learning disabilities, especially in male children, have reached epidemic proportions. Soy infant feeding-which floods the bloodstream with female hormones that could inhibit the effects of male hormones-cannot be ignored as a possible cause for these tragic developments.”

I wholeheartedly agree with you on your views about Tofu....yuch.

Also, be sure to double-check “vegetable oil” before you buy. A large part is from Canada and it is pure soil bean oil, probably imported from China. Pure corn oil costs a couple bucks more for the gallon size.

It is the same with garlic. California used to be a big grower but they can’t compete with the cheap stuff coming from china. Fresh or powdered it probably comes from China.

We are seeing that in a lot of crops that the US grew enough of to handle domestic consumption

The really sad part is that there was no real demand for the foreign products.

Also, notice that the prices on food have gone up...even as free traders tell us that free trade will lower prices.

What happens is...when local and domestic growers cannot grow crops for domestic use....the price of that crop rises in price. If the local domestic crop is gone....the foreign crop can basically name their price

Good question. The U.S. does use a lot of its soybeans and exports a huge amount too. But U.S. soybean farmers compete with other countries that grow soybeans.
Soybeans are a commodity and countries with lower costs of production can import a commodity and turn it into a finished product to sell back to the commodity producer.
Anyone that can add value at a lower cost will have the advantage.
China and Mexico have much lower costs of production. So
either keep their products out or reduce our costs of production. Not too complicated.
