The way I look at it, soy can be used for multiple things (from ink to food) where as dairy cows are only good for 1 thing, milk. Plus, living around here, driving past the Oberweise farms, seeing how the cows live, thinking about all the drugs they pump into them to keep them 'healthy', *shutter*. "Well" raised cows are simply out of the question cost wise (that's an entire other rant).
Soy isn't the perfect answer either of course. I see soy as something to be used in moderation & as a way to transition away from the typical meat & dairy diet. I've even noticed that when we had cows milk in the house DD would gorge on the stuff, but having only soy she drinks less than 16 oz a week. That's proof to me that the cows milk wasn't a physical need & the soy milk is really more of a treat.
