Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 That is so disgusting. I bought it once and just didn't like it. Too rich and reminded me of cream. I stick with rice milk most of the time, it's thin and doesn't remind me of milk. Thank you Gary, you really enlighten us with your well researched information! Always valuable posts.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Actually many non-veg people who are lactose intolerant drink soy milk, as well as other dairy alternatives. The grocery stores here all carry soy milk, even in the small towns. Here is a quote from 8th Continent's website: " We're a joint venture between DuPont and General Mills.
