I might be wrong but I think it would count more in the "meat or substitutes" category.
Id say a hopeful question more than a stupid one....
unfortionately the answer is no. Soy milk is constituted and prepared in such a way that it does actually count as a dairy product.
See

for more info
(to be a vegetable, you would need more than an extract. While carrot juice comes from juicing carrots, you dont squeeze soy milk out of a soy bean...)

I read it was breast cancer as soy contains a substance similar to oestrogen.
If not chocolate, then definitly strawberry!

Yup, soy seems to be healthy, at least for women: some recent studies seem to hint the oestrogen in it might not be so good for men. On the other hand cow milk does in my understanding contain a lot more oestrogen than soy milk, so I wouldnt worry about soy, men.
I prefer the taste of oat milk, I love tofu and soy "meat", but most soy milk products taste a bit weird to me. I did bumb into a new really tasty brand of soy based yoghurt last week though.

I don't really like the idea of dairy so am trying to cut it out. I don't like the idea of drinking something meant for the infant of a different species. It's not like we drink dog milk and cat milk either so why cows milk?
Precisely, and then they dare to say it's necessary for our well being. Mother Nature must have been very miffed indeed, when she realised she had just created a species that needs an other species' babyfood to be healthy.Originally Posted by maverick_kitten

Do you eat meat?
I like soymilk, esp. in coffee--but I have no idea how they make it either!
I figured it was more than just squeezing the beans but I had no idea how complicated the whole process was!

Yes, I personally (without wanting to cause a debate) think that eating meat and eggs is natural.
It's just milk that I'm not so sure on.
