I wouldn't touch soya with a bargepole to be honest and and am very careful about buying anything with palm oil in in too as both play a significant part in the destruction of the rain forests and the forced migration of the indiginous populations into cities, thus increasing child mortality rates etc (breathe!). But that's a whole different thread and something I like to have a personal rant about every once in a while.
There was a moving and informative episode of 'Tribe' here in the UK this week about the Panen people and the destructive hunt for palm oil was mentioned. I'm loving the responses on Quorn...lets begin the campaign to bring it to Canada. I guess it would be illegal to buy from the states and import oneself??? Oh...and can't help it...grew up on KD and I fall into the trap whenever I visit home. Sad.

Tribe, with Bruce Parry has to be one of the best programmes on TV at the moment.

Here's a link to info on the growth of soybeans if anyone's interested.
