Seabrook on organic beef:
There’s a slow poison out there that’s severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it’s a “health food,” one of our most popular. Now, I’m a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it’s organic. I state my bias here just so you’ll know I’m not anti-health food. The dangerous food I’m speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they’re all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore. I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you’re also getting substantial quantities of estrogens. Estrogens are female hormones. If you’re a woman, you’re flooding your system with a substance it can’t handle in surplus. If you’re a man, you’re suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your “female side,” physically and mentally.

Man, it was SO much easier when Americans just ate beef, wasn’t it? The only decision you had to make was…rare, medium, or well-done? None of this pussy, emasculating free-range, whole-grain, preservative-free, healthy artificial food made out of things that normal people just shouldn’t be eating. Beef…it was simple, pure dead cow. Put some onions, cheese, maybe some ketchup on it, and it’s what’s for dinner. Mmmm…BEEF….real food for real people.
Of course, beef may the preference of the majority of Americans, but there is a growing minority, among which you can count me for the past 15 years, who don’t eat red meat of any sort- particularly beef. And I haven’t noticed that I’m growing breasts or hanging out at gay bars.
