I used to drink a gallon of milk a day. I don't drink any milk now....

I like that vanilla flavored soy juice in my grape nuts.

Silk rocks.

It is better than that lactaid sh*t, or other brands that "modify" milk.

I thank silk every time I eat my lucky charms.

It sucks being lactose intollerant.

Oh yeah, nothing should be put in coffee, it is ment to be black.

and Birks, rock. :p

uh, no. too expensive of shoes for my feet.

I'm not joking when I say it's only been the last few years or five that I started walking down the fruit/vegi isle at the store.

my diet for many years consisted of meat, cheese, pasta and milk. I'm far from a hippie.

I like the choco SILK but that vanilla stuff makes me gag.....nothing meant to replace milk or milk itself should be flavored Vanilla.

*gag*

I don't think I have tried a plain silk....who does that stack up? All I know is my fiance likes SILK...I only try a little choco-silk now and then. She normally gets the vanilla...and puts it in her cereal....I wouldn't put vanilla MILK in my cereal.

I did not realize that coffee came any other way than caffeinated.

That "de-caf" stuff is just dark, falvored water.

If you all knew the chemical processes used to turned soya into milk you would never drink it, they use the same stuff in house paint. I'm still happy to let cows process my milk.

you think i drink it for my health? it's just something to complement my beer.

I only stopped drinking milk because I used to drink a gallon a day.

1 quart in the morning
1 quart with lunch
1 quart w/ dinner
1 quart as a snack in the evening


I'm the guy that can eat the same thing for years every day then never touch it again.

I wonder what they mean by "100% certified organic" then? :confused:

that means that when they grow the soy beans, they use human fecal matter and other 'organic' stuff.

that "100% certified organic" doesn't have anything to do w/ the process that turns soy beans into soy juice.

just like the 'Fat Free' stuff. that just refers to box the food is packaged in, not the contents of the box. :D

Silk? Funny, I've never heard of it. I'm lactose intolerant and I'm kinda allergic to soy products. Whenever I have cereal, I use Trader Joe's vanilla rice milk. Now that, my friends, is good sh*t.

ADM helped write the legal definition of organic as it pertains to foodstuffs under the FDA's administration. The term organic is meaningless when it appears on the label of processed food.

Those statements are incorrect on so many levels it's actually funny.

The facts are this: 1% of the population is lactose intolerant - of that 1% 2/3rds will also be alergic to soy and soy products.

The soy revolution is a huge multi-national agri-business scam - converting soy by-produts into soy milk is a chemical process and chemicals can easily be organic - gasoline is organic.

EDIT: Soymilk you would make at home tastes nothing like what you buy prepackaged.

It sounds like you have some knowledge about this, however your statements seem pretty generalized.

From what I understand soy milk is created by soaking crushed soybeans in water.

Normally if there is any kind of negative information about a product such as you are implying, it takes google about .0001 seconds to find it. Perhaps you could provide some facts to back your claims?

dammit, it's not milk. it's juice. :)


I read an article a while back about organic stuff and how the laws apply and it said they could use the human waste/sewage as fertalizer. so what most people think the word organic as it applies to food is different then it really is.

that is way too much for me to read.....:)

I have read various things on it in the past though.

the question I have is, are soy beans bad for you or just the products made from soy beans?

I have a vegan friend that swears tomatoes are bad for you. or he did until I had a little chat with him. :p
