indeed...in certain relatively significant quantities though, I've read?

men who's primary protein source is soy should be careful...I imagine it's easy to have a significant soy intake if you drink soy milk, eat a lot of soy products, use soy protein supplements, etc.

not a significant amount of soy at all...I'd be more concerned about the silly sodium content in most soy sauces

And once again TA proves there is in fact such a thing as a stupid question.

To answer your question I would recommend you look at all the havok we have caused by not following nature in the past. From simple things like lactose intollerance developing by our unnatural choice to continue consuming dairy products into adulthood (where no other animal does this) to epidemic drought and famine caused by deforestation or over cultivation of land, the near destruction of the aborigional people in the heart of Australia due to commercial farms and the introduction of foriegn animal species.... especially cats, and countless other examples, we can see the detrimental effects of fuckin' with nature everywhere.



all that aside we all personally reap the benefits of screwing with nature everyday and probably aren't willing to give that up.... however, it still isn't the best idea we ever had.

This is such a slippery slope argument though...

You could argue that we never should have screwed with nature, and then we would still be in the hunting and gathering stage.

Humans have screwed with nature and it has enabled us to make tremendous advancements. Obviously there have been some mistakes, but its impossible to be perfect.
It's not rational to say we should never mess with nature.

Where Are The Tunes?
Good things happen to good people

Meat-lovin is in my pedigree, my grandfather was a butcher

I currently live in the building that used to house his butcher-shop. My basement is littered with meat-cutting equipment (knives, scales, cutting blocks, meat scales, etc.). It's a little creepy because most of the equipment has rusted and there is a thick layer of dust mixed with blood covering the room. Maybe I'll post some pictars when I get home (to the house haunted by the souls of a thousand cows!).
