They are not as hostile as you seem to believe.

Regarding soy -- yes they are crusading against the over-processed multi-quizillon dollar industry (much of it funded by Monsanto). They have no problem with the traditional fermented soy foods such as miso, natto, tamari, etc. The fermentation process of these foods diminish the phytic acids that interfere with mineral absorption and the goitrogens that mess with thyroid function. They have the same cautionary views with regard to non-sprouted grains and nuts and pasteurized dairy products. One of their main purposes is to revive small, diversified farms -- they are no friend to factory farming of animals nor monocultural plant farming -- both are corporate run monstrosities that are ultimately damaging and unsustainable. One would think that vegetarians could agree with these aims.
