411: Soy Fey

The wacky (read: dangerously deranged) religious zealots have found a new boogeyman in their war on homosexuality...evil, evil soy. According to James Rutz on WorldNet Daily:

"Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them."

See, these are the theories that people who don't believe in science concoct. We're pretty sure eating soy didn't make us gay, as we were raised on a diet of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and Swanson frozen dinners. Maybe it's not soy but all those wacky preservatives that made us crave same sex loving? We doubt it.

The article also included this postscript to the completely unfounded editorial :

"P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu."

So watch out for all those crazy, liberal homo vegans and their tofu stir fry. If someone offers you tofu, just say no. Otherwise, it's a gateway to Pottery Barn catalogs, summers in Provincetown, and wild, hedonistic man-on-man debauchery.
