Sojourner Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 [quote name='DeeDee' date='Sep 23 2005, 12:06 PM']I love Trader Joe's! There are two of them in my area. Their vanilla soy milk is the best. Everything there is good, including their soap. Don't eat it though.

annie Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Wow, TWO Trader Joe's---we have a couple but they are maybe 30 min apart. We also have Whole Foods, but I get kinda wierded out with all the organic stuff and herbal doo-dads they sell. The clerks at our local Whole Foods all need a)some iron-rich beef, b)bath products that have CHEMICALS in them to properly do their job and c)less piercings and tatoos. Sorry, just a personal preference. That is why I like Trader Joe's better-- a bit more conventional, good food and good prices. L_D, how did you become such an expert in milk products?

We've also got Wild Oats, and then in Broadripple there's Good Earth, which sounds like our version of your Whole Foods. The clerks are all pale, skinny vegans who use crystals instead of deodorant.

annie Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I hear ya on the pale, skinny--hence the need for a BIG OL' SLAB of PRIME RIB to get the iron levels up, and some ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE in the deodorant to actually have an effect, and A METAL DETECTOR to stop the large quantity of piercings from being displayed for my benefit.

A guy I know from college has been working at Good Earth since we graduated. He rides his bike everywhere and does the full-out beard thing (although I think he just recently shaved it off. No piercings, though. He's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T-Bone Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 There's a guy who comes into Wal-Mart all the time. He looks like he was involved in an industrial accident, he has so much metal imbedded in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel's angel Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Because I had some sort of allergy to milk and they didn't diagnose it until it was quite late and it had done damage to my stomach and liver, so even soy milk was too strong. There was this new experimental milk thing that they were testing, so they used me to test it. It had pig fat in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you drink regular milk now? Or are you still drinking the milk with pig fat? And how does it compare with regard to taste? Just wondering.

Very interesting indeed. So you grew out of the milk allergy, then? And there were no lasting stomach/liver effects? That's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
