I watched it a couple of days ago. Fascinating stuff. I always knew soy products were bad news.

soy is in almost everything we eat. look at the labels..theres a controversy about soy... but I too dont think its good for us....I want to stay away from it but its impossible, unless u go totally raw.....theres alot of bad stuff in our foods and products we use...any thing that is sugar free is no good for us..asprataine, look at this i just found out resently titanium dixide not good for us...its in most of the toothpaste we use, no good, its in some of our soap we use, etc etc..fluride is not good for us either..So what does a person do???? Is we dont know what most of the ingredients are on the labels of things we use.

Just goes to show that we need to return to eating more potatoes. Specifically, french fries

Are we on good terms with France this week then? Regardless, Idaho and Washington support your desire to eat more potatoes.

I insist on Idaho potatoes. Preferably from the mid-to upper-Snake River Valley.

Serving in the Washington Spokane mission can be a little brutal, folks in eastern WA and Northern Idaho (I imagine southern do as well, but my mission didn't cover that) can get pretty fierce about their potatoes. One of my Mission President's counselors was a potato farmer in Moses Lake Washington and we lived in his mother-in-law apartment. I used to buy bags of Idaho potatoes just to tweak him.

Corn's in everything too, (High fructose Corn Syrup.) its seriously the reason a lot of americans get fatter (its in most sodas) although the article says that it doesn't necessarily transfer to humans, but i see no reason why it wouldnt. (I lost several pounds last year when I cut soda out of my diet.)
