Soy products such as soy milk, tofu and soy chunks are rich source of protein and are considered to be healthy foods. The amino acids of soy combine very well with the amino acids of cereals. Soy protein is the only plant-based protein that is high quality complete protein, as it contains all essential amino acids. Other major advantages of Soy protein are:

It is a vegetable based protein, and is suitable for pure vegetarians. Food rich in soy protein offer a good alternative to meat, poultry, and other animal-based products especially for the vegetarians.
It is a rich protein source, and can be enjoyed by all physically active individuals, who have a higher daily proteins requirement, especially kids and those engaged in daily work out for maintaining their physique/figure.

Major protein requirement of kids is usually met through milk. Kids of 6 to 12 years age group, start resisting to milk as their taste preferences change. At this age, they generally become choosy about their food which mostly leads to compromised nutritional intake. Teenagers too are not very keen observant of their nutrition intake. Increasing fast food preference and untimely food habits take a toll in this age group. Other challenges in the child’s nutrition, which generally trouble the parents, are:

Kids spend most time in school with their friends than they do at home; eating meals with friends and adopting eating habits from their peers.
Constant television commercials for junk foods further take the kids away from the nutritious food.

Variation in food is always a challenge and thus it becomes very difficult for parents to offer appealing and healthy food options for the kids. Children develop a natural preference for what they eat most often and enjoy.
