@1 We try not to mention argieland's GM soy. It's a pretty sad story. It's provided by Monsanto, which has pretty close to a monpoly as it “invests” personally in CFK. Then there's the biological “experimentation” performed on the “peasants” with the chemicals sprayed on it. Birth defects, mental instability, psychological disorders, all that sort of stuff. Then, as your article mentions, the dropping protein content. Just imagine “soy sauce, with added protein”. And they even have trouble selling the stuff for biofuels! And the weather gods hate them.
