I brought some of the magnets back from Japan with me. I put one on my Mom's car and the Japanese foreign exchange students that were staying with her at the time got a big kick out of that. Then I explained to her what it meant haha.

Upon pouring a full bowl of delicious cereal (one of my many weaknesses) and take a heaping bite, I notice the milk is rotten [/spits out in sink]
Check the sell-by date, and its not for another 2 days. Way to go King Soopers:mad:
Been there done that. Although mine was definitely expired, probably by a couple weeks or so. It was one of the little quart size or so in cardboard that I got from the chow hall and saved in the fridge for later. SOOOOO nasty.

Never heard of almond milk, I might have to check that out. I actually get Farm Crest milk now, and it seems to last a good bit longer than milk bought at the store, and it tastes much better too. I'll probably just get Royal Crest delivered now since I don't have a Farm Crest near me. I never understood why people would pay to have milk delivered or buy special milk, until I tried it. WOW!

Farmcrest is noticeably better IMO, and I used to drink it. But eventually got lazy and stopped making the separate trip. Maybe I should start getting that again.
My brother drinks almond milk. I guess it's got nearly all the benefits of milk and less sugar. I just never tried it because it has like one gram of protein and milk has eight. Plus I'm a skim guy, and almond milk has a few grams of fat.
one and one makes two, together we are free

"According to the USDA, any milk with a somatic cell count—i.e., pus—of more than 200 million per liter should not enter the human food supply, according to the dairy industry. Therefore, anyone living in a state where the somatic cell count is higher than 200 million shouldn’t be drinking milk. The problem is that every state but Hawaii is producing milk with pus levels so high that it shouldn’t enter the human food supply. The national average, at 322 million, is well above the industry’s limit. People in the great state of Colorado, for instance, consume 312,000,000 somatic cells in each glass of milk. PETA is calling on the USDA to lower the legal limit of allowable pus in milk to the limit used by the rest of the industrialized world; presently, our limit is nearly twice that."

unfortunately alyssa soy milk can be just as bad, for different reasons.
Soy in general is high in phytoestrogens - in moderate doses (1-2 times a week) it's not really a problem, but for anyone regularly consuming soy estrogen levels rise and testosterone levels drop. In men it can lead to gynecomastia (moobs) and in women studies have shown that rising estrogen increases the onset age of breast cancer. My girlfriend sees it all the time at the Cancer Center here in the Springs where they're focusing specifically on breast cancer.
Worse still, something like 90% of all Soy produced in the United States is actually a patented product, a specifically genetically modified soy resistant to pesticide. It's called 'Roundup Ready' soy and is completely impervious to Roundup (owned by Monsanto), which kills every other plant. This can be good for farmers looking to avoid weeding, but it's a legal nightmare having a patent on a seed and it also increases industrial pesticide runoff and pesticide on the plant itself, if not properly washed. Studies in lab mice (2007, 2009) have shown that GMO soy is a carcinogen when fed as part of a blend. Further research is necessary to determine whether it's the GMO itself or the additional pesticides on the soy shells, but it's a bit disturbing nonetheless.
There's a reason that the number one predictor of obesity is wealth - all of the things which cause disease and obesity are cheap; only the stupidly wealthy can afford to buy things free of GMO, antibiotics, hormones or pesticides.
