  Flawed in that a staple of civilizations diets is somehow comparable to a known intoxicant?

    To say something is good merely because it has been consumed for a long period. Very often people use terrible argument and reach the right conclusion by chance.

      Except it’s not chance dude. Soy is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein.

        I agree with you, but we should not compromise logic just to confirm what we believe.

      Precisely, the conclusion is correct but the argument was flawed.

    I tried to point out that the fact that societies have consumed it for a long amount of time doesn’t have to mean it’s healthy.

      I made a single point, that soy conspiracies are racist and dismiss the civilizations that were raised on them. You latched onto one bit in a dismissive (or ignorant) attempt to debate bro with me.
