Soybeans are a great source of protein and have great variety in use: cooking oil, tofu, live stock feed, soy milk, edamame beans, etc.
It's one of the best options for poorer families who cant afford meat regularly or for folks who have moral issues with large scale slaughterhouses.
Soy doesnt have negative stigma in the east either, most families regularly consume it. I'm not sure why it has such a bad reputation in America. There are no known negative side effects from eating reasonable quantities of it.
Go to a chinese restaurant near you and try some hot braised tofu. I havent met anyone who doesnt like it.
