They call the secretions of various plants “milk,” and thereby steal one of the most valuable words in our vocabulary. This trend to pretend foods leads us to ask: Is there any milk in soy milk?
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Fake Milk – Got Milk, Or ??? – This trend to pretend foods leads us to ask: Is there any milk, in soy milk?
As a kid in Belfry, Montana, I helped Grandfather Karl milk his cows out in the big red barn. I carried the full buckets across the barnyard to the farmhouse porch, where I poured the buckets into a machine that separated milk from cream.
That raw milk, and everything Grandmother Sophie made from it, provided the foundation of our diet. We added meat, for which there were many sources, some greens and vegetables from the garden– fresh, dried or canned– and fruit from the orchard in pies and tarts. Whatever there was to eat was good, and probably could not have been any better.
Now, as a city-boy living in one of the world’s most fashionable metropolitan areas, I stand at the dairy counter of a local supermarket and wonder at a carton that calls itself “Soy Milk!”
Having hosted well over 1200 editions of the What’s Eating What? Food Chain Radio Show, I have a pretty good idea of what is really inside that carton. And so, I do stand in wonder at how what my grandparents placed on their table, became that which now calls itself “milk.”
And so I ask:

#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
