Citas sobre la soja

• El maíz es una forma eficiente de obtener calorías energéticas de la tierra y la soja es una forma eficiente de obtener proteínas de la tierra, así que hemos diseñado un sistema alimentario que produce mucho maíz y soja baratos, lo que resulta en mucha comida rápida barata.

• I know a 'crime against nature' when I see one. It is usually a sign of crimes against nature that we cannot bear to see them at all, that we recoil and hide our eyes, and no one has ever cringed at the sight of a soybean factory. I also know phony arguments when I hear them--unbridled appetite passing itself off as altruism, and human arrogance in the guise of solemn 'duty.' We must, as C.S. Lewis advises, 'reject with detestation that covert propoganda for cruelty which tries to drive mercy out of the world by calling it names such as 'Humanitarianism' and 'Sentimentality.

• By making marijuana illegal, the agricultural people can't grab hold of it like they did with corn and wheat. So those companies are scrambling around trying to get hold of it, but they can't, because it's a cottage industry, and it will always be a cottage industry. Because the minute the big companies try to make it their own, like they did with soybeans...like Monsanto, they put their own patent on seeds, and you can't do that with marijuana.

• The same chemicals were used in the cooking as were used on the composition of her own being: only those which caused the most violent reaction, contradiction, and teasing, the refusal to answer questions but the love of putting them, and all the strong spices of human relationship which bore a relation to black pepper, paprika, soybean sauce, ketchup and red peppers.

• You may not think you eat a lot of corn and soybeans, but you do: 75 percent of the vegetable oils in your diet come from soy (representing 20 percent of your daily calories) and more than half of the sweeteners you consume come from corn (representing around 10 perecent of daily calories).

• Raising crops to feed animals for human consumption requires a lot of land. It takes eight or nine cows a year to feed one average meat eater; each cow eats one acre of green plants, soybeans and corn per year; so it takes eight or nine acres of plants a year to feed one meat eater, compared with only half an acre to feed one vegetarian.

• Los OMG se encuentran en casi el 80% de los alimentos procesados en Estados Unidos. Actualmente, hasta el 92% del maíz estadounidense se consume qué estás comiendo OGM con zoe lister-jonesingeniería genética, al igual que el 94% de la soja y el 94% del algodón. En resumen, están por todas partes.

• The World Health Organization recently concluded that glyphosate, the main ingredient in the most-used herbicide on GMOs, is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." What's even scarier is that more than 3,200 elementary schools are within 1,000 feet of genetically modified corn or soybean fields. Drift is a very real thing in agricultural communities, so the proximity of these toxic substances to children is terrifying.

• I don't eat meat, fish, or eggs. I was never a big meat-eater, but I've got more energy now. I eat a lot of tofu, and I drink soy shakes with fruit every morning. I always have soybeans, black beans, or chickpeas for lunch or dinner

• Una vez tuve que conducir hasta Minneapolis y fui por una carretera secundaria para ver el campo. Pero no había nada que ver. Es llano y caluroso, y está lleno de maíz, soja y cerdos. De vez en cuando te encuentras con una granja o algún pueblecito muerto donde lo más animado son las moscas.

• Husband and wife are like the two equal parts of a soybean. If the two parts are put under the earth separately, they will not grow. The soybean will grow only when the parts are covered by the skin. Marriage is the skin which covers each of them and makes them one.

• The soybean itself is a notably inauspicious staple food; it contains a whole assortment of "antinutrients" - compounds that actually block the body's absorption of vitamins and minerals, interfere with the hormonal system, and prevent the body from breaking down the proteins of the soy itself.

• Los agricultores estadounidenses produjeron 600 calorías más por persona y día en 2000 que en 1980. Pero algunas calorías se abarataron más que otras: Desde 1980, el precio de los edulcorantes y las grasas añadidas (la mayoría de ellos derivados, respectivamente, del maíz subvencionado y la soja subvencionada), bajó un 20%, mientras que el precio de las frutas y verduras frescas aumentó un 40%.

• ...if we get the right kind of energy, there are endless amounts. I think we should be developing every kind of alternative fuel that is available to us. That includes hydrogen to soybeans, from solar to wind. Whatever we can find that is going to help us clean up the environment we should be working really hard on developing.
