Shaking my fist!

I'm going to vent for just a moment.  Grr, I'm frustrated! I had a horrible stomach ache all day yesterday, and I am sure it was from a combination of too much soy and sneaky gluten.  I came to this conclusion because I am aware that I was being careless yesterday. I intentionally skipped over "caramel color" on one label, and rather than spit it out I enjoyed two pieces of Trident Tropical Twist gum with soy lecithin and "natural flavoring." I don't need to go into everything else I ate, just know it wasn't my best lineup.  Today, when I was craving a pizza for lunch I remembered yesterday's stomach ache.  I had some eggs with blueberries and strawberries in cream instead.

I am irritated with the food industry for creating food-like products out of fillers, "flavorings,"and chemicals. Canned tuna packed in water has soy via chicken broth added for flavoring.  Why isn't it just tuna?  Country Crock spread, Pam cooking spray, and mayonnaise are all made from soybean oil.  I'm starting to think soy is in everything prepared or pre-packaged.
