Summary
A handful of individuals have been incredibly successful at demonizing a bean - a bean! Our obsession with single nutrients, our reliance on media sound bites for our health advice, our misunderstanding of the power of the anti-vegetarian agenda, our reliance on processed foods are the problems - not soy. Though soy foods are not miracle foods, neither are they poison. This episode seeks to put it all in perspective and demonstrate that whole soy foods can be part of a varied, whole-foods, plant-based diet - but only if you want them to be.

| 0:31.1 | classes and online cookbook, lectures and workshops, |
| 0:35.0 | articles and essays, this podcast and a cooking DVD. You can learn more about who we are |

| 1:36.4 | letter along with four dollar bills and four quarters from a young listener in |
| 1:41.7 | Wisconsin named Jessica. |
| 1:43.7 | It was one of the sweetest things I've ever received that was so generous of you. |
