Hah, maybe I was a little harsh. There has been a lot of development that went into it since the last time I tried it (long ago) and yes, there's something for everyone out there.

I just remembered the first time I tried it in my youth, when milk substitutes were new and exotic. Nasty! Then when I visited Taiwan, I was convinced that soy milk was delicious and not disgusting, and tried it. Asian soy milk is a precursor to tofu just like real milk is a precursor to cheese, and nothing like the product sold in North America. It's more like a hot bean soup, and I love beans. Every day for breakfast with a Chinese long donut

When I got back home, I thought maybe soy milk was worth another shot. With the delicious Asian product for comparison, the watery taste of "White people soy milk" as my girlfriend described it was like a slap in the face and solidified a lifetime hatred for the product ;)

I do agree with you on the protein content as far as milk substitutes go. But I lift weights and I add whey powder to whole milk, so I'll only ever consider milk substitutes to be exactly that, substitutes. There was a time in my life when I drank an entire gallon a day, resulting in adding 30 pounds to my frame permanently. Milk is amazing but my older guts definitely could not pull that off now. And I think my body would turn it into fat...
