It is something that we should think about for ourselves too - soy is in every single processed food item we eat. Soy in a fermented form such as tofu and other methods such as those used in Japanese food is fine - in fact it is even great for you - because of the way it is prepared means that it is safe. The way soy is used in all other food processes, mostly as a thickener, is evil. I'm not kidding. Its not being alarmist, its a reality.
