I've heard that people get concerned about not eating/drinking dairy because they are scared that they will not get enough calcium. In his new book, Dr. Cordain goes into a fair amount of detail about why dairy is actually not a good source of calcium (mainly because the Magnesium in cow's milk inhibits its utilization by our bodies). So I decided to look up what other foods are a good source of calcium.
This site is the first one that came up on google, and lays it out very simply: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/12-vegetables-high-in-calcium.html
Besides soybeans, the top five foods on the list are:
1. Okra
2. Almonds
3. Collard greens
4. Oranges
5. Spinach
