This is old news, I am sure they are aware of this and other issues.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Right ... and China still has a 'One Child' policy because?
... because soya just doesn't have as shocking an effect on fertility as that study may suggest.
Tofu has been consumed by the Chinese for over 2 millennia, no reducing population problems.
All it takes is one sperm to get someone pregnant. My claim is to OPTIMIZE sex hormones, for training purposes, soy protein and soy products should be used in moderation.

The "androgenizing" effects of soy have been well documented, hence high level athletes are taught to avoid or at the very least curtail its use.
I know a few elite level athletes that are vegitarians and the amount of supplementing they do is quite high, especially for protein and creatine.

We are limited to our food supplies.
If you live in the great plains area of western China, that include Qing Hai, some mongolia and tibet etc.
We have to drink horse milk or goat milk freshly squeezed in the morning. They continue to drink during the day till it is all gone. No left over from yesterday as it will go bad.
We have to eat some breads or big pancakes. We have to eat muttons. Horses are way too important to carry tents, travel, -- nobody eats horse meats.
--
They are all good horseman and good wrestlers, since they ride and wrestle since kids.
--
Pigs are not eaten by moslem people.
--
My point is that we eat whatever protein sources we may have readily available and cheaper. Be it fishes, chicken--
--
all proteins have to be broken down by our body and then assimilated into our own.
--
Now I am drooling for the sauerkraut mutton soup in the moslem Chinese restaurant.
I am also drooling for the beef in the mogolian restaurant/
I never like the yake milk from the tibetan restaurant, horse milk and goat milk are o.k for me.
--
I am so quilty of being a meat eater.
What I meant was;
There are places that it is very difficult to eat veggie only.
such as you live in the great plains or desert areas.
They have to eat meat since veggies are not not readily available.
Men can eat just vegitables. its just takes a lot of extra effort and study.
men can fly. it just takes a lot of extra effort and study. (airplanes)
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Those meat filled Shaolin tacos are only modern wushu.
