But don't let that stop you from thinking about going veg. You don't have to eat soy if you're vegetarian - there are plenty of other eco-friendly protein sources like seitan, almonds, chickpeas, quinoa, etc. You'd be surprised to see how many vegetarians and vegans are staying away from soy these days~ especially when there are so many other options.
