Lots of veggies contain calcium. But many of them also contain oxalate which inhibits your body's ability to absorb both calcium and iron. Soy does contain oxalate. So eat a lot of those veggies.....

From the link:

"Oxalate, or oxalic acid, is a component that occurs naturally in plant foods. Many people try to avoid foods high in oxalate because it can keep your body from properly absorbing calcium and iron from the foods you eat. Consumption of foods high in oxalate may also promote the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones, which is a painful health condition. If you believe that oxalate-containing foods are affecting your health, see your health practitioner for guidance."
