Went to a “Japanese Steakhouse” for my brother’s and sister-in-law’s birthdays last night. Had delicious beer and very good food. Ate mushrooms like mad. The cook nicknamed me Johnny Be Good and joked that I was able to knock-up Mrs. P with us both being vegetarians. Had chocolate/peanut butter/ice-cream cake. It felt like my birthday; my tummy was so happy.
Novel idea from the Japanese Chef- that vegetarians cant impregnate their wives. I wonder ho w he would explain the overpopulation in India, with 1.2 billion people running around? :):)
He told me about all kinds of cool tofu to get at Chinese grocery stores after that; I think he was a fellow veggie and was just teasing me:)
One Japanese guy in Ann Arbor was very concerned becasue I didnt eat beef,and ate tofu, tempeh and soy milk instead. He said he was concerned that it would turn me effeminate and gay and raise my estrogen levels!!! :):):) Wonder where he got such crazy ideas from?
That’s bizarre as hell! :)
BTW, a couple of years back, some Evangelical preacher was saying similar things. Dont know his name, but he claimed that the fact that some school districts served soy products in school lunches, was a conspiracy by the liberals to bring about hormonal changes in little boys,and turn them into estrogen secreting , effeminate homos who “would turn away from God”.
Thankfully not too many people bought into that conspiracy theory.
OMG, I’d be interested in reading that, for entertainment value if for nothing else, LOL.
I am living proof that soy doens’t make one physically girlie. I’m a hairy beast and, hell, my shoulders got wider since I went veggie seven years ago. But these people’s contention that soy makes estrogen which makes people gay (let alone their gross assumption that being gay is a bad thing) is like something out of a science fiction novel. Geez. What would happen to a lot of the evangelical bullshit in this country if a more rigorous scientific education were enforced? No one seems to have a concept of cause and effect anymore.
Yep, agree. I am definitely not a girlie guy either. I dont know where this rumor that eating soy products makes men effeminate came from. I’ll d o some searching,and let you know if I find anything.
I’m pretty sure voluntarily eating soy products have made me more manly.
Most Japanese beer is delicious! What restaurant was it?
… and yes, I’m still in the office and got bored for a moment.
