I bet the problem is entirely related to the high amount of herbicides used in conjunction with GMO soybeans. If you watch the movie "Food Inc" you can see how Monsanto has basically cornered the soybean market using coercive and intimidating (but somehow legal???) practices. If you're eating non-organic soybeans, you're most likely eating Monsanto beans, which are most likely loaded with poisonous chemicals. No thanks.


BTW, there are two kinds of GM: Selective breeding, which has been going on for thousands of years, is a natural form of genetic modification and only speeds up a natural process that could have been achieved by nature. The GM that is causing all the problems now is done in a laboratory with scientists splicing genes together from completely unrelated plants and species (like taking a gene from an arctic fish and inserting it into a broccoli genome so that the broccoli becomes more resistant to cold weather). That is just not right, and it's not what nature intended.


We are literally starting to reap what we've sown.


And for the record, I think veganism is just plain silly. Human beings have evolved over millions of years to eat meat and animal products. You can make a vegan diet work, sure, but IMO a good balanced diet with a little meat and all natural/organically sourced foods is far easier to maintain and more enjoyable. Most vegans I've known deal with a lot of stress as a result of their lifestyle and dietary choice.
