Soy will make you gay? (morals, homosexuality, choice, preacher)

I thought I had heard it all. But I guess they can't keep blaming it on choice when so many of their own keep proving them wrong. Remember Ted Haggard, now there's another evangelical preacher of a mega-church who's admitted the same. Too much tofu, boys?

I'll bet the beef industry loves this. I can hear their new slogan now: Beef, it will make you a real man!

It must be true. Just look at how un-endowed the Japanese and Chinese
are

I wish these Conservative columnists would just come out of the closet already.

It's a bunch of crock!

glad i avoid soy as much as possible

Neither one of these two preachers came out on his own. Both condemned homosexuality in their careers. That speaks volumes about their morals.

Well, in large quantities it is ridiculously unhealthy, verging on medically toxic, and the comment that;

Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you're also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.

Is actually mostly true, though that's due more to the current methods of growing it then any inherent deficiency in the food itself. The problem is further exasperated by the large number of food products that are soya-based or indirectly contain soya-byproducts.

If anyone's interested, herein lies an interesting article on soya:-

However, the (somewhat more Christian) article's claims that there exists a direct link between the effects of soya food and sexuality are not only wildly unsubstantiated and reliant on a whole legion of (equally unsubstantiated) assumptions, but seemingly offers arguments that contradict the oft-spoused evangelical position that homosexuality is a choice, and a poor one at that.

Now, THAT is pure BS.
soy is great. fried tofu is gross, but soybeans are great.
i wonder what they'd say about edamame.
