Default Soy Milk?

Just an aside about soy products. I know that I really did a number on myself when I switched to alot of soy products over a number of years in an effort to stay as plant based as possible many years ago when it was first touted as a "healthy" food source. Even was macrobiotic before that for some time but found it very difficult to maintain with teenage kids. I went hypo thyroid and am now just getting back to some semblance of balance. I stopped soy products about 10-15 years ago and avoid soy protein isolates as well. Rice milk and almond milk seem healthier choices as opposed to dairy. Wish we could access raw milk, but that's a whole other story! It is a shame what Food Inc. and all the mega farming practices have done to our land and our food chain. I am currently finding it so frustrating to find "good healthy options" especially as beans and lentils are our least favourite foods. I'm just ranting so please ignore what doesn't resonate.
