Ok, so i know that because Steve is vegan and this is his page's forum everyone is singing the praises of vegetarianism and veganism and spraying all us dairy and meat consumers with scorn and contempt. But, i think that before you spread the gospel of the wonders of a meat and dairy free diet, which the main protein and calcium sources are made up of soy (soy milk, tofu, soy enriched products) that you should look into this site. Not trying to deter anyone from cleaning up a poor diet by going vegan to increase natural foods and veggie intake or animal rights activasts and environmentalists from trying to better our earth but i think that we should acknowledge that any extreme way of eating has it's pitfalls:
Soy's Thyroid Dangers
just something to think about.
