another chocolate milk

[Guest guest]

I saw the 8th Continent soy milk last night when I went shopping with my

sister. (I would have bought it but my money was at home and my sister would

have answered if I'd asked her to buy it for me with a resounding " Hell no! "

LOLOLOL). Next time I go shopping though I will pick it up. I didn't see the

Organic Valley, but then again, we were at a different Wal*Mart than I usually

go to. I also noticed that 8th Continent is cheaper, and the container looked

bigger. Whether it actually contains more than the Silk cartons though, I

don't know. Does it?

 

I haven't been asked by a clerk if I'm a " veggie girl, " as my friend Alberto

calls it, hehe, but it will probably happen when I go to stock up. :-p

 

Funny you should mention that she thought it was expensive, as I did for a

long time till I actually became a vegetarian and found out how inexpensive it

really is!!! :-)

store didn't have organic valley today, so I was gonna buy the silk chocolate

milk, when I saw 8th continent brand for a buck cheaper. Never tried 8th

continent.

Sooooo, I pondered, is a buck worth going, " ughhh. " and wishing I would have

bought the silk.....

..................of course it is, so I bought it........ and YUMZ!

better than silk. not quite the creaminess of organic valley, but still creamier

than silk.

YAY! looky at all the choices!

 

I also hit a sale on frozen veggies, 10 for 10. So I bought 10. and then I

bought some red chard, and some Belgian endive, this time the purple kind, and

so when I got to the checkout the woman who was about my age was ringing me up

and she stopped and asked me what the endive was, then stopped and asked me what

the chard was, and then she rung up a few more things and said, " oh, you must be

makin' a recipe huh? " and I said, " no, I always eat this stuff, I am a happy

vegetarian. " and she said, " oh wow, being a vegetarian is much too expensive. "

I told her that my chard was 1.89 and the garlic and onions and squeeze of lemon

that go in it are not much and a pack of pork chops is ten bucks.

Then I punched her in the face.

 

well, not really, but I said that the chard and a piece of oat bread is a meal

for me, costs under 3 bucks.

she said, " ohhhhhh. " and then she said, " so do you eat fish? " and I said, " no,

those are pescatarians. " (I just learned that in here) and she laughed. well okie

dokie then, didn't know that was funny, but whatever floats her boat. I also

bought the whole wheat pasta which I am buying from now on, oh, and did I tell

you guys that I made my house a " no more strohmanns bleached white bread house? "

I bought the Arnold last time but this time I got a big loaf of pepridge farm

white. Not as good as whole grains, but at least they will eat it with some tiny

complaints which will wane in time and they aren't eating that paste anymore.

Hi,

 

Unfortunately 8th Continent has vit D3

in it (see below) and may also contain

GMOs. (gene modified organisms - in other

words I think the soy is GMO)

 

Gary

 

http://www.geocities.com/~alyza/food/food.html

" If you, like me, don't want animal products or

derivatives in your soy milk, be sure that the vitamin

D is listed as D2. If the product just has D, it may

be D3 which comes from lanolin (the fat from sheep's

wool). Unforturnaly, 8th Continent uses D3. (VegNews,

June 2005 Issue) My favorite soy milk, Silk, uses D2,

thankfully. "

" just to let people know, 8th continent soymilk is NOT

vegan. it contains vitamin D3, which is derived from

lanolin. (sheep wool oil) "

Hi Sara,

I and my husband also had the misconception that being veg is more

expensive. Not! You get great food, for far less of a monetary price, and

you get filled up a lot sooner because of all the wonderful fiber. Wow! How

wonderful is that?

Actually that's what I thought too although

it was a nice gesture on Bron's part. There are

issues about posting things other people write

or create, like stories, poems, articles, photos,

artwork, et al, on your web pages or stuff like

that. In other groups original writing or photos,

particularly if used on a commercial venture

should have permission from the author and

sources clearly noted. Two reasons:

 

1) The US (and probably elsewhere but I can

only speak about where I live) is a

particularly litigious society.

2) Even if you aren't sued, flame wars and

hostile conditions are NO FUN.

 

However 99% of the stuff I post here is just

what I have grabbed from public material but

I do try to note the web pages from whence it

came or author/book/source. I got in trouble

(just verbally abused) once for posting something

that wasn't clearly and unqestionably noted

as coming from another source and I promised

myself I would never let that happen again.

well actually Gary that is for works, and for what is said on a private site,

but all said in a forum such as this is public anyway.

We are airing our dirty laundry.

 

HEY DONNA!!! gimme back my panties!! Cali girls don't have panties,

remember????

Thanks, Chanda, and hugs back. :>)

But Gary is right to be cautious, and I too have been verbally abused (aka

flamed) because of the same type of thing that happened to him. And I

haven't had any interactions with him up until very recently. So I didn't

know whether he might get mad if I shared his email with my husband or not,

best not to take chances anymore in--as Gary well put it--this litigious

society today.

I'm glad this situation has turned out so well for everyone concerned. :>)

No problem. I know on at least two

other lists I have things to get back to

people on and I'm very late in doing so.

Not an excuse, just the way things are.

Thanks. However sometimes I forget to be kind.

Sometimes I just don't think. Saw the Dalai

Lama at Stanford on Nov 1. I try to think of

two things he talked about, compassion and

positive emotions.

Gary, I'mreading his book " The Art of Happiness " .... you might want to

check it out. I'm a bit envious you got to see him though! :-)
