I am similarly troubled by that article. I've been vegan for nearly 7 years, and the idea of eating a diet so reliant on soy is...well, that's disgusting, I'd be dead in a year if I did that, maybe sooner. But it also gives the idea that soy = bad, and soy is not inherently bad for you. I do eat a fair bit of it...I just don't base my whole diet around it. If I had been accustomed to eating meat 2-3 meals a day, and suddenly started just replacing it with soy...I mean, that's horrifying, no way, ugh! I eat soy several times a week, sure. I also eat a lot of vegetables, nuts, whole grains, beans, fruit...and very little processed food at all.
I'm interested to hear what else on that site you found troubling.
