WOW! How uninformed is that! Our bodies are prefectly adapted to eating meat. Being a vegetarian, I am going against my species' evolution. Your friend needs to get a hold of a basic physical anthropology text book.
As far as the soy thing goes-I am still reading up on it, but it seems that there is a big debate going on. Some people point out the problem is with unprocessed soy-soy has to go through a procedure that eliminates the problem chemicals. I agree that too much is probably not good-but there is a difference in soy products and how they are produced. My doctor said many of the studies are pretty inconclusive and just not to go overboard with it.
I am still slogging through experiments, case studies and commentaries though.
