The Stuff inside Food

I've been drinking organic soy milk lately.
One of my GFs and I got silly on soy white Russians this weekend.
Always good to eat healthy and then fill your body with dangerous levels of ethanol...

I'm affraid I'll only give up milk and other foods when a doctor checks me out and tells me I can't have it anymore. I've tried numerous soy products and aside from tofu, I can't stand any of them. Not that they taste horrible, but they don't taste like milk or whatever they're trying to emulate. My hats off to you guys that can stomach the stuff, more power to you, but I'm fit as a fiddle and I've been a heavy milk drinker my whole life. No broke bones through 4 years of football and wrestling so no complaints. I drink about 12 oz of milk every night before I go to bed. I don't sleep right if I don't.

Thing is, it is you who wants the product to emulate what you are used to. Why should soya milk taste like cows milk, dears milk or monkey milk? Non of those milks taste the same (I think?) They have different compositions for a start. IMO you're a big baby; does vodka taste like water? they look the same (tho there is no, what you call, emulation) I didn't particularly like soya milk when I first tried it, cus it has an unfamiliar taste. One gets used to it. My bro been drinking it for many many years and he's well into contact sports namely rubgy (the man's version of american football), no broken bones either. If you ent lactose intolerant then a doctor will probly never tell you to stop drinking it.. In fact I'm sure my local surgey promotes it..

Hey, i didn't mean anything agains soy milk or the people who drink it. Simply saying I don't like it. And I'm not sure about the marketing schemes over seas, but over here, they push soy milk as an alternative to milk. Meaning it's trying to emulate milk. I'm sorry, but I'm not eating it on my cereal, or drinking strait. Just like the soy burgers. I know they're not hamburgers, so don't try and tell me they taste like them. they don't. Like a said, I'm happy that you've found something you enjoy (sucks if you're drinking it because you're sick, please accept my apologies if you are). If you enjoy it, then keep eating it. Tell your friends about it. I don't want to come off as a milk nazi or anything. There are a few things on this earth that I just love. Milk is one of them. I say whatever floats you boat.....:thumbsup:

Thanks, guys! The sad thing is I think this whole subject has put me off food this evening and possibly for longer. We had salmon, and my husband asked, "Why aren't you eating your supper?" I kept thinking about pink food additives and stabilizers and thickeners (we were also having salad with dressing containing propylene glycol alginate). I ate a couple of bites of rice and let him eat the rest of my food. Tomorrow I may fast . . .

Ever wonder why wild salmon isn't as pink as farmed salmon? No, they don't dye the fish, but they do put coloring in the food fed to farmed salmon. They have to since farmed salmon wouldn't be eating the same things that wild salmon would that naturally turn the meat pink.

Anyhow, what all of this leads up to is that we really need to be aware of what we're eating. There's lots of choices out there, some are good and some are bad. I can buy a great microbrew beer without any propylene glycol alginate that tastes better than anything with it, just not a foamy. I can make a great buttercream frosting for a cake without any paint chemicals. It may not be be so white that you need sunglasses to look at it but it will taste great and still be as white as it needs to be. I can buy nitrate free hot dogs which may not last a year in the fridge like regular hot dogs but taste great; and who wants anything that's been in the fridge for a year?

So, do a little research, find what's good and what's bad, then buy accordingly. Then the only thing you need to worry about is getting hit by a car in the grocery parking lot.

What happened to you in the first place? I don't think I was on or maybe I was spacing out.

me and my husband were going to do laundry, went next door to the 7-11 to get a soda. came out and a car comes flying in, hits me, doesnt even try to stop and pins me between the brick wall and the car. my upper right leg was broke in two. i now have a metal rod in there, never will come out.

nothing happened to the people though...thats the main thing that pisses me off. that and i wont have a way to pay my bills cuz they're too much and their insurance isnt' gonna pay SHIT.
