WorldNetDaily columnist Jim Rutz targets soy food. “Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality,” Rutz writes.
If this nutcase’s allegations were correct about soy (and they’re not) then there wouldn’t be a single heterosexual left in most of Asia. Their diets include a lot more soy than does our’s.
(Funny, that…. given that Asian nations are generally the most populous in the world!)
Furthermore, I am gay and wasn’t raised on soy (at least products that are overtly soy-based). I never even saw tofu until I was an adult. We never drank soy milk or ate any soy-based foods… and yet I am 100% homosexual.
Rutz is just another right-wing moron who is grasping at a dwindling set of straws in his attempt to maintain a “rational” basis for his hatred of gay people. How sad. Thankfully, their days are numbered and hopefully we’ll be rid of their influence within a generation or so. Youth are deserting the right-wing movement like proverbial rats from a sinking ship. It’s just a matter of time.
I went over to WND and read all of that, and couldn’t help but notice that there were no references or citations. I’m guessing he went to seminary or majored in theology. So who gives a flip what his scientific opinions are? I don’t ask nutritionists for spiritual advice, either. Is this yet another example of this ‘truthiness’ I hear the kids talk about?
(Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!)
If this retard did any research he would know soy milk cannot sustain a baby. The baby would die if fed soy milk. There are not enough of the needed nutrients. Any doctor, any mother or baby mag would tell you that.
So, let’s check some logic here. 1) God does not want people to be homosexual and told us so in the Bible. 2) The Bible also told people what to eat and what not to eat. 3) The Bible says nothing about avoiding soy. 4) Therefore, even if soy causes homosexuality, it’s part of God’s plan to actually have homosexual people be part of our social world.
Or, people make up stuff against those who are different and, therefore, “unacceptable”.
Take your pick – either way, leave homosexuals to live their lives as they see fit.
Evidently this guy doesn’t eat at McDonalds. Soy is in their bacon, their buns, sauces and seasonings, chicken fillet, cheese, and the oil they cook their chicken and fries in. As a matter of fact, if you pick up a product that contains vegetable oil, that vegetable is soy.
I’d love to see this guy try to go on a soy-free diet.
Wow! The ignorance, bigotry, and flat out stupidity of the wingnuts in in full display. I would say this man is being sarcastic if I didn’t know he is dead serious.
I actually went to WorldNetDaily and read the whole article. My jaw dropped to the floor.
Soy leads to homosexuality, cancer in adults? Infertility, genital atrophy? What a load of bunk, idiocy and nonsense. All put together in one, convenient package.
My Asian friends would certainly be surprised to find out these little known facts about soy.
And the Chinese fertility rate continues unabated…
Well, I don’t think I had much in the way of soy growing up, and I’m straight, so I guess this Rutz guy must be right?
I did try Zima once, and some of them Smirnoff Ice drinks. Zima made me run out and buy new curtains for the breakfast nook, and the Smirnoff had me belting out show tunes like Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, so I guess E_I is right too.
Why are we even discussing this? It’s just another example of how stupid the American people have become. I’m more worried about the epidemic of stupidity then a gay person. Sheesh!
Lack of soy makes Lesbians gay too? Ok getting confusing. It’s ok to be gay if we like to much carpets. But not ok to be gay if we take it up the ol’ dirt road, you know the mustard highway, the dolphin ditch.
so how does this idiot explain lesbianism?

I am sure he will find some exotic plant, fruit, vegetable to blame it on (exotic meaning he doesn’t think it’s “American” enough). Like Kiwi. Or mango. Or seaweed.
Only a big ole’ steak with a side of baked potatos will save you. Although those are originally from South America… hhmm…
Ya gotta go run down an elk, kill it with your teeth, then rip its heart out with your bare hands. Eat the still beating heart, and walla, cured of being gay.

Oh man, am I in for a lifestyle change then. I better let the old man know to prepare for some changes around here! For some reason I don’t think he would be that upset….
“Lack of soy makes Lesbians gay too? Ok getting confusing.”
It couldn’t be simpler: soy rhymes with boy, so it makes men gay. Not eating soy makes women lesbians.
The cure for gayness is to make boys eat something that rhymes with girl. Perhaps “pearl” onions. Or cheese “curls”. I’m still working on it, but my theory has as much sound science behind it as anything on WorldNetDaily.
When I first read about this, I thought it was a joke, then I realized the guy is serious.
He says soy sauce is OK because it is fermented, but soy products are to be avoided.
Personally, I think his brain must be fermented.
It sounds like someone smoked some “devil’s weed” before they came up with that article. I can see where you’d start to think that soy is the devil’s food that makes you gay then, maybe.
By far one of the funniest (in a laughing AT them way) things out of the mouth of Conservative Ignornance… (I especially liked the utter lack of references or proof).
The comments here are hilarious. We should link to freeper sites more often :)
I’m not laughing at this. Sure, the claim about homosexuality cannot be proven and it seems utterly silly on its face- but the rest of Rutz’s claims about soy are fully valid and have been well documented. Please see the following link for more info on this harmful food.
Myths & Truths About Soy
Comment by Baraka — December 12, 2006 @ 6:28 pm
Again, I saw no references and no scientific links. The site promotes “real milk” which leads me to believe that this has ties to the milk industry… And there have been many credible studies onthe fact that milk is NOT good for humans to consume.
Therefore, a site encouraging milk consumption is suspect.
Give me studies, facts and links to sources – not opinions.
This came as no surprise to Elizabeth A. Yetley, Ph.D., lead scientist for nutrition at FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition . “Every dietary health claim that has ever been published has had controversy,” she says, “even the relationship of saturated fat to a healthy diet.”
While the controversy may seem confusing to the consumer giving it casual consideration, a careful review of the science behind the rule reveals a strict divide between what FDA allows as a health claim based on solid scientific research and related issues that go well beyond the approved statements about health benefits of soy protein.
What’s known is that all foods, including soy, are complex collections of chemicals that can be beneficial for many people in many situations, but can be harmful to some people when used inappropriately. In that simple fact lies much of the scientific dilemma–when do data show a food is safe and when do they show there could be problems?
Much of the research to date has examined dietary soy in the form of whole foods such as tofu, “soymilk,” or as soy protein added to foods, and the public health community mostly concurs that these whole foods can be worthwhile additions to a healthy diet. The recently raised concerns, however, focus on specific components of soy, such as the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein, not the whole food or intact soy protein.
As a science-based agency, FDA recognizes that research information evolves with time and that some of the existing confusion will be resolved as new studies are completed. “We continue to monitor the ongoing science,” Yetley says. “As new data warrants, we make adjustments in our position and the advice we give to the public. We take this responsibility very seriously.”
Interesting how everything relates to men. Sexism abounds even in the right wing the war against homosexuality. What does this dufus have to say about women eating soy? What does all the extra “feminising” estrogen do to them? What an idiot.
This is what right-wingers have to do to deal with their feelings of inadequacy. They’re still reeling from the election losses and now they’re trying to mask their shame and vulnerability. Every time they turn around, either Bush is saying something incredibly stupid or getting smacked down by one of the Dems, or another Republican congressman is getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or another right-wing, gay-bashing pastor turns out to be homosexual.
So, go ahead, Mr. Rutz. Go get yourself a raw slab of beef and take a big old bite out of it. Or, buy yourself a six-shooter, wear it around the house when your wife’s not home, and practice your quick draw in the mirror. Or, make fun of men who eat their vegetables. Whatever it takes to shore up the illusion that your manhood is still intact. You pathetic Republican weenie, you.
#128 – jake3988,
Every homosexual has ingested soy products at one point in their life, they are unavoidable. The key issue is to prove that all non-homosexuals (aka heterosexuals) have never consumed soy products.
It’s nonsence! Asian have been eating Tofu and Soy food for thousands of years. But the fact is that the number of gays in western country where people like eating cheese is hundreds times than that in east. Tofu is healthy food, western business is afraid eastern food occuping the market, then lied to people.
I think Rutz’s claims are over-the-top, but soy is closely linked with developmental problems in newborns and young children. No one is claiming (well, maybe Rutz was) that eating soy as an adult will shrink your member and make you an overnight flamer.
Also, the arguments about Asia are weak. Asians used soybeans as a fertilizer for centuries before they decided to eat them, and even today they eat them more sparingly than you’d think. Not to mention it’s largely an American practice that subsitutes soy-based formulas for the natural (and most healthy) milk that is naturally available from the mother.
I had no idea about the estrogen content of soy, so I did some looking around. You can peruse what I’ve found over on my blog.
I figured people would be on Rutz’s bandwagon (minus the whole “Devil food” aspect). After all, people are always looking for an escape from responsibility.
My letter to Mr. Rutz (and yes, I actually e-mailed him this)
Mr. Rutz,
I must say, thank you for your article entitled “Soy is making kids ‘gay’”. Rarely have I seen such a fine parody of the type of psuedo-scientific, ill informed commentary one normally sees on such sites. I especially liked the equation of homosexuality to femininity, since such a claim is easily and thoroughly rebuked by even a cursory glance at research into that subject, and how you flawlessly skewer the type of people that use such easily debunked arguments in their commentaries.
Also, the way you mock how some writers will totally disregard established scientific fact by citing a personal opinion…beautiful. This part especially got me:
“Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.”
Wonderful! Such a masterful indictment of writers that actually use such reasoning in actual debate of a subject. I must say, you perfectly capture the way some people actually try to argue despite not knowing the first thing about what they’re arguing.
Thank you for a fantastic example of parody writing at it’s finest. Your article gave me a good laugh, something I really needed today.
That’s right, folks! Eating healthy food makes you gay. Now, y’all go on out and get yourself that McDonalds’ fix so you can be a fat, disgusting, transfat tub-of-lard 100% heterosexual.
Uh, does this retard realize just how much stuff is being made using soy by products? It is really quite an amazing little bean.

December 12th, 2006 at 3:13 pmWell, there you have it. Surely now there will be no more gay people, just as there are no gay people in societies that don’t consume soy.

December 12th, 2006 at 5:59 pmBy far one of the funniest (in a laughing AT them way) things out of the mouth of Conservative Ignornance… (I especially liked the utter lack of references or proof).
The comments here are hilarious. We should link to freeper sites more often :)

The soy thing is just a diversion!
Please do not molest the wildlife — and that means you Rutz!
December 12th, 2006 at 6:25 pmIf you warm your clothes in the dryer before putting them on, you are a girl or a gay man.
December 12th, 2006 at 6:28 pmI’m not laughing at this. Sure, the claim about homosexuality cannot be proven and it seems utterly silly on its face- but the rest of Rutz’s claims about soy are fully valid and have been well documented. Please see the following link for more info on this harmful food.
Myths & Truths About Soy
December 12th, 2006 at 6:28 pmBaraka,
I acknowledged the sliver of truth to this, in the very beginning. But hey, you came to enlighten us.
December 12th, 2006 at 6:30 pmMy prescription says to “TAKE 1 TABLET DAILY”. I want to know how to recover that tablet so I can take it tomorrow.

December 12th, 2006 at 7:01 pmMyths & Truths About Soy
Comment by Baraka — December 12, 2006 @ 6:28 pm
Again, I saw no references and no scientific links. The site promotes “real milk” which leads me to believe that this has ties to the milk industry… And there have been many credible studies onthe fact that milk is NOT good for humans to consume.
Therefore, a site encouraging milk consumption is suspect.
Give me studies, facts and links to sources – not opinions.
December 12th, 2006 at 7:07 pmhttp://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2000/300_soy.html
This came as no surprise to Elizabeth A. Yetley, Ph.D., lead scientist for nutrition at FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition . “Every dietary health claim that has ever been published has had controversy,” she says, “even the relationship of saturated fat to a healthy diet.”
While the controversy may seem confusing to the consumer giving it casual consideration, a careful review of the science behind the rule reveals a strict divide between what FDA allows as a health claim based on solid scientific research and related issues that go well beyond the approved statements about health benefits of soy protein.
What’s known is that all foods, including soy, are complex collections of chemicals that can be beneficial for many people in many situations, but can be harmful to some people when used inappropriately. In that simple fact lies much of the scientific dilemma–when do data show a food is safe and when do they show there could be problems?
Much of the research to date has examined dietary soy in the form of whole foods such as tofu, “soymilk,” or as soy protein added to foods, and the public health community mostly concurs that these whole foods can be worthwhile additions to a healthy diet. The recently raised concerns, however, focus on specific components of soy, such as the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein, not the whole food or intact soy protein.
As a science-based agency, FDA recognizes that research information evolves with time and that some of the existing confusion will be resolved as new studies are completed. “We continue to monitor the ongoing science,” Yetley says. “As new data warrants, we make adjustments in our position and the advice we give to the public. We take this responsibility very seriously.”
December 12th, 2006 at 7:18 pmInteresting how everything relates to men. Sexism abounds even in the right wing the war against homosexuality. What does this dufus have to say about women eating soy? What does all the extra “feminising” estrogen do to them? What an idiot.
December 12th, 2006 at 7:30 pmCome on, people. It’s obviously a spoof.
Christians are insane, yes… But this is obviously a spoof.
December 12th, 2006 at 7:33 pmWell, at last, we finally know!!
All that damn soy sauce!!!
December 12th, 2006 at 7:34 pmWhat if you wear soy material?
December 12th, 2006 at 7:46 pmLike a meat hat, but a tofu hat, yes thats it….
December 12th, 2006 at 7:47 pmMeat hats have so much more style than tofu hats. Tofu hats tend to be drippy. The ultimate in hats is, of course, the tin foil hat. So versatile…
December 12th, 2006 at 8:02 pmSo this Rutz guy is afraid of soy because of the estrogens it contains.
December 12th, 2006 at 8:04 pmThat estrogen is some powerful shit, man.
Estrogen is very powerful and intoxicating…
December 12th, 2006 at 8:09 pmHow about tofu shoes?
December 12th, 2006 at 8:10 pmOy vay-soy vay! I can get it for you wholesale.
December 12th, 2006 at 8:16 pmTofu shoes?
Squishy…
December 12th, 2006 at 8:29 pmFrickin’ beans, I knew it. It is those Mexicans.
December 12th, 2006 at 9:35 pmThis is what right-wingers have to do to deal with their feelings of inadequacy. They’re still reeling from the election losses and now they’re trying to mask their shame and vulnerability. Every time they turn around, either Bush is saying something incredibly stupid or getting smacked down by one of the Dems, or another Republican congressman is getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or another right-wing, gay-bashing pastor turns out to be homosexual.
So, go ahead, Mr. Rutz. Go get yourself a raw slab of beef and take a big old bite out of it. Or, buy yourself a six-shooter, wear it around the house when your wife’s not home, and practice your quick draw in the mirror. Or, make fun of men who eat their vegetables. Whatever it takes to shore up the illusion that your manhood is still intact. You pathetic Republican weenie, you.
December 12th, 2006 at 10:00 pmhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Does he realize how silly blaming soy for turning people homosexual is?
I mean, you can go the Lewis Black route and deny Soy exists because there’s no soy breast… but this is just stupid.

December 12th, 2006 at 10:35 pmEvery homosexual has ingested soy products at one point in their life, they are unavoidable. The key issue is to prove that all non-homosexuals (aka heterosexuals) have never consumed soy products.
It’s nonsence! Asian have been eating Tofu and Soy food for thousands of years. But the fact is that the number of gays in western country where people like eating cheese is hundreds times than that in east. Tofu is healthy food, western business is afraid eastern food occuping the market, then lied to people.
December 12th, 2006 at 10:49 pmSo that’s what happened to Mary Cheney!! Now at least Lynn doesn’t think it was her fault.
December 13th, 2006 at 7:18 amI think Rutz’s claims are over-the-top, but soy is closely linked with developmental problems in newborns and young children. No one is claiming (well, maybe Rutz was) that eating soy as an adult will shrink your member and make you an overnight flamer.
Also, the arguments about Asia are weak. Asians used soybeans as a fertilizer for centuries before they decided to eat them, and even today they eat them more sparingly than you’d think. Not to mention it’s largely an American practice that subsitutes soy-based formulas for the natural (and most healthy) milk that is naturally available from the mother.
I had no idea about the estrogen content of soy, so I did some looking around. You can peruse what I’ve found over on my blog.
I figured people would be on Rutz’s bandwagon (minus the whole “Devil food” aspect). After all, people are always looking for an escape from responsibility.
December 13th, 2006 at 10:35 amMy letter to Mr. Rutz (and yes, I actually e-mailed him this)
Mr. Rutz,
I must say, thank you for your article entitled “Soy is making kids ‘gay’”. Rarely have I seen such a fine parody of the type of psuedo-scientific, ill informed commentary one normally sees on such sites. I especially liked the equation of homosexuality to femininity, since such a claim is easily and thoroughly rebuked by even a cursory glance at research into that subject, and how you flawlessly skewer the type of people that use such easily debunked arguments in their commentaries.
Also, the way you mock how some writers will totally disregard established scientific fact by citing a personal opinion…beautiful. This part especially got me:
“Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.”
Wonderful! Such a masterful indictment of writers that actually use such reasoning in actual debate of a subject. I must say, you perfectly capture the way some people actually try to argue despite not knowing the first thing about what they’re arguing.
December 13th, 2006 at 6:49 pmThank you for a fantastic example of parody writing at it’s finest. Your article gave me a good laugh, something I really needed today.
That’s right, folks! Eating healthy food makes you gay. Now, y’all go on out and get yourself that McDonalds’ fix so you can be a fat, disgusting, transfat tub-of-lard 100% heterosexual.
December 13th, 2006 at 7:12 pmWell we must have a lot of sexually dysfunctional and gay Asians who have been eating soy based food for centuries.
