Curious, but unsurprising.

During the Carter administration, a law was enacted which allowed the
standard military issue - that being ground beef - to be 40% soy.  This was
touted as a tax saving godsend.

It is interesting to note that this was for all service branches except the
submarine force.  That is because soy tends to cause flatulence.

We return you to your regular paleo reading.
