Yes, it's true: tofu makes you gay

What, didn't you know? On conservative news site WorldNetDaily yesterday, columnist Jim Rutz spread the word.

An excerpt from his eye-opening screed, now making the rounds in the blogosphere:

"Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products."

Vegetarians, men of tofu-loving Asia, lactose intolerants, take heed.

But wait... Before we panic, let's stop and think. Would a little feminizing be such a bad thing? Testosterone is a factor in aggression, something the world could use a little less of. Maybe if someone would slip certain global leaders a soy smoothie every morning, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
