I love some of the commercial soy milks (Silk is one brand name here in the states) that you can buy at any grocery store, however I'm not too sure they are really that good for you. They are quite high in sugar and fat. Health food, I think not. Yummy though.

I am interested in this 3D information in milk. Does anyone know if it comes from swine or fish?

I don't care if there is oil and sugar in my soymilk, it seems better than this 3D stuff...oh my, I can remember the Loma Linda's Soyagen--talk about lots of oil and sugar!!!

I think Phil's idea of making your own soymilk is best--that way you know what is in the milk. Actually there are LOTS of different "milks" on the market from rice to potato milk...we live close by a healthfood store and I'd say there at least 20 to 30 different milks there, from carob milk to vanilla flavored milk...

I belong to a vegan group of ladies who chat on a board. We are all vegan and I am the only SDA on this board! So Redfog was right in that there are many out in the world who are vegetarian or vegan who do not do it for religious reasons but for health reasons.

I'm not sure I should say this or not but here goes (excuse me if I've posted this before!)

I was convicted at age 15 to become a vegetarian. I was raised on "clean" (certainly not kosher) meat in an SDA home. I did not have an easy time of it because I liked certain meats: chicken/turkey/beef bacon and fish.

What a struggle I had. I would be grocery shopping when hungry (not a good idea) and buy some kind of meat. Then the Holy Spirit would start in on me and after I got home, I can remember taking the meat and throwing it in the large trash bin outside.

One day again when grocery shopping I was very tempted to buy some meat. All of a sudden I was strongly impressed that it was TIME to STOP for good. I knew the Lord was speaking to my heart and I was impressed that if I bought it and ate it, I would be committing the unpardonable sin. I did not buy it and haven't since.

I am not saying that those who eat meat are committing the unpardonable sin. But for ME it would have been a SIN for me to go ahead and buy it and eat it. This is an experience that I went through that I do not hold that others must do the same thing.

But when I read about Judas, how his decision was made when he left the upper room, Sister White says he went to the "point of no return" and this is why he hanged himself. He knew it was too late. This is kind of where I was--at a fork in the road and I had to make a decision. Basically it was whether I would follow the "lust of the flesh (which was really what it was!) or would I follow and give up ALL for Jesus.
