So U think Vegan is healthy?

I don't each much soy products - I would certainly agree though that soy isn't a healthy source for protein. What I would say is that be sceptical about it - studies have proven in Asia that consumption of Soy Milk is associated with better health including reduced risk of cancer; however in Asia most soy consumed is in fact fermented and they rarely consume soy milk, none of the studies took fermented soy into consideration - soy consumption is associated with eating both types in Asia, not one or the other so the evidence that Asians consuming a little bit of Soy Milk but mostly Soy in its fermented form is not evidence that the unfermented forms are healthy, nor is it evidence that the same benefits would apply to westerners.

In Korea, tofu is definitely a staple, served with almost every meal. I'd bet my bottom dollar that kimchi+tofu+rice = all necessary nutrients, and the right balance between carbs/protein/fat. However, soy milk is also very popular. There are specific lines and brands aimed at all the different ages of children, starting right at a couple months old.

I don't really know how healthy soy milk is. However, I'm not so sure that high quantities of cow's milk represent an improvement, especially with concerns about hygiene and hormones in mass-production facilities.
