lathrielSoy Alert!
I've long been forced to endure conversations about nutrition that, while boring, and at the time I didn't care or didn't want to hear it, have helped me to build a sprawling informative base on holistic nutrition that could probably trump any med student's. I remembered a conversation a few years ago with my mother that went something like "Soy is bad! Blah blah blah! The Japanese use fermented soy blah blah blah but everything else is BAAAAAAD." At least that's what I think she said. Anyway, the link above explains!
So, for all you vegetarians who think it's wrong for vegetarians to eat "veggie" meats... you might be right, at least nutritionally.

Date: 2008-01-10 11:26 pm (UTC)I love the bit about the Buddhist monks eating tofu to reduce the libido. It totally made me think of this scenario:
Me: Hey Katie, feelin' frisky? Eh? Wait, what's this... tofu? Are you trying to tell me something? What happened to "not tonight, I have a headache"??
