Soya:Perfect for everyone.Panda: Loved by all folks

Washington Post,January 19, 2010 on page E2: Common ground for folks in USA and in China with similar taste to appreciate the mammals and the food for nutrition.

Soy is a perfect food-almost. It has little fat, no cholesterol and lots of fiber. It is also high in protein, and it's complete protein, too. Unlike most vegetarian sources of protein, soy contains all the essential aminoacids the human body needs.

Folks in USA earn more and pay more and Chinese earn less and pay less for "dou fu" I like "dou fu" very much since 1930s when I was a youngster in China.

Soy is in snacks such as Soyjoy fruit bars. Or chips such as Garden of Eatin'Little Soy Blues tortilla chips and Genisoy soy crisps. Try dried soy nuts, including chocolate-covered ones. Soy milk comes plain or flavored with vanilla,chocolate, even cappuccino and egg-nog. I have tried all these in USA for my taste buds.

Page E6: Photo of Panda romping and playing in the snow. Unlike other temperate-climate bears, pandas don't hibernate in the winter. In China, they eke out an existence in the mountains, descending to an elevation of about 5,000 feet in the winter to eat mostly bamboo stalks, avoiding the leaves, which contain diminished protein in the cold months. Smart pandas know best. Humans may learn from them.(sic)
