Comments: If It's Soy, It Must Be Good

Um.

So is THIS your daily appreciation?

A good wholesome, 'natual' product. Soya is bad for us with thyroid problems too.
Don't analyze the contents of everything you eat, you'll starve to death.

Yet another reason to stay away from foods that are "good" for you. At least there's no pretending when I drink a diet coke- I know it's bad for me and quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

And lets be honest- doesn't soymilk sort of look like watered down cement, anyways????

How does it TASTE? How does it TASTE? Who cares what's in it? How does it TASTE?

My youngest child was put on soy-based infant formula as she didn't tolerate the milk-based ones. If fed those, she did the Linda Blair thing (and yes, to those earth mothers who would tell me to breast feed - I did do that - for a while). I never taste-tested the stuff. She grew up a beautiful young lady, smart and curvy, so I guess there might be something in it good for you. But, recently during a brief loss of good senses, I tried the low carb craziness and bought some soy-based yogurt and "milk". GACK and DOUBLE GACK. I went out and bought Emily a new pair of shoes and a Creme Brulee as way of showing my sorrow at having fed her that stuff.

"A bunch of monkeys masticate the sugar and spit it out?"

That's perhaps the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Say, Bill! Wish I'd known this earlier, but today happened to be World Vegetarian Day! It would have been the perfect day to try Soy Milk in your Starbucks! In honor of...

And I thought you might like to know in advance, October 7 happens to be Bald and Free Day. In case you happen to see a whole lot more fake balds running around that day, now you'll know why! But October 14 is noted as "BE bald and Free Day" so I'm not sure what's going on there... FYI...

soy milk is actually a pretty good ingredient, though I don't care to drink it straight. I've made the stuff at home; it involves soaking and boiling soy beans into a thin white soup, which needs thickening with industry standard items like CC and Carageenan, which are often put into low grade ice creams too. They provide some of the body and "creaminess" the soybean, on its own merits, lacks. For a nice cold glass of beverage, though, I really like the Rice Dream "original" enriched ricemilk.

Real milk in my latte gives me an upset stomach and frogs in my throat. Soy doesn't, and it tastes fine by me. I didn't want it to be true, but it is: I like the stuff.

You made another wise choice, Bill. Milk! It does a body good. More or less.
