Soy becomes edible when it's fermented into soysauce. Soybeans that aren't fermented are potent sources of phytoestrogens, which are plant chemicals that cause our tissues to swell sort of like estrogen.

Birds are better able to consume soy because they have faster metabolisms than humans. Pigs that are bred for food are able to consume soy because pig farmers don't care about the long-term health of their animals.

Most of the soybeans grown in the US are roundup-ready, so they're contaminated with glyphosate.
