Seriously salient soy

Sooo...I get asked many questions about soy..."Dana, what is soy, what is edamame? Is soy good for me? how do you cook with soy? if I'm vegetarian and I eat soy, am I getting enough protein?"

and the questions just go on and on and on...

Ok, not really, but i had to come up with a topic du'jour.

Actually, today at work, I had the opportunity to take a menu, the "healthy" menu and describe its foods in a healthy yet entertaining manner.

examples as follows:
Chicken--A deliciously delicate balance of lean, muscle-building protein, which can pack a nutritional punch if it's white....

Oatmeal--A low-fat, whole-grain, fiber-packed punch of smooth creamy goodness.

yeah, that's what I thought too...but hey, sex sells.

Anyway, how do you like this one for funny? I recently wrote this for an interview with Forbes.com

Ants-on-a-log: A mixture of healthy fibrous-packed vegetable, the creamy smooth texture of protein and fat in peanut butter, and the sinful sweetness of raisins...we knew our mothers made us this delightful treat for a reason!

and...well, for the final one-two punch:

Edamame--a complete meal...in a bean.

I crack myself up sometimes.

Anyway, cheers, happy eating, and hopefully I've added some humorous delight to your otherwise dreadfully decadent day.

Question of the moment: "how do i lose weight?

Dana's Discourse: Eat less, move more. Simple mathematics.
