Ikea

As someone that worked in a cabinet shop for years, all mass produced furniture is going to be basically the same quality as what you buy from IKEA. It just feels cheap when you do it yourself.

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Not defending your friend, but I think part of it is the association with highly processed foods.

I developed a soy allergy, and I was shocked to learn how much it's restricted my diet. In two years I've found one brand of hot dog buns I can eat. If you you look at almost any fast food restaurants allergen menu you will see soy in almost every single item. Mayo is a effectively whipped soybean oil.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but it's a cheap additive and seems to have some preservative quality, and a good indication that you're food is highly processed. I eat much healthier now, largely against my will.

I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.
