Title: Re: [Livingontheland] The War on Soy: Why the 'Miracle Foo
1. organically grown soy, which is the only kind that should be eaten, is not genetically engineered. Some megamfrs., such as Dean Foods, are quietly buying up small companies and switching from OG to GE soy (Silk soymilk now says "natural"  instead of "organic"). The GE soy is the kind that is fed to livestock and is often in mass-market junky foods, so it's nonvegetarians who are eating almost all of it.
