Good point about the protein from soy Ed, I tend to believe that my tissue is more similar to cow than soy plants. Therefore I allow myself to eat prime rib for protein. Beans of all kind usually provide pretty high protein, but rare beef must be like 95%? laugh

Gary, I liked your "dead" food comment. A quote from "that book" I mentioned earlier in this thread is:

It is a reference to the "foods" that will keep in th fridge for months without spoiling. There is something unnatural about that. (preservatives)
