I have 6 adopted children, all oriental, they all were raised on soy milk,
tofu(fried) miso and various sauces, both there and here. They also eat
rice daily and except for seafoods, very little of the meats group.
Orientals eat several different kinds of soy and to say that one in
particular is used would be an error. We also ship large quantities of
"our" soy to the orient. Are they just feeding it to cows? I don't think
so. When a limited diet is considered I think they are very resourceful
