This is fantastic, and so bizarre. The intrigue!:
Messenger2010: This user is the sockpuppeteer of a huge number of sockpuppets who claims they are part of a group of over 50 whose purpose is to spread (mostly false) anti-soy bean propeganda through various articles on Wikipedia using strongarm tactics and sockpuppets to stop any other editors from disputing the statments. See Talk:Soy protein and Talk:Biological value as one example. Favorite targets include articles on soy, soy protein, biological value, whey protein, PDCAAS, Sodium dodecyl sulfate and articles related to vegan dieting. Seems such a strange use of time and energy.
If it's not a joke account (although I imagine it is), it's probably an activist (or activist group) that doesn't like the fact that soy and corn products dominate the agriculture market in the United States. Even so, you would think there would be more productive ways to express this. Strange indeed.
