Okay let me clarify, we drank soy..once. But we totally loved it! Well Brent totally loved it and then he brainwashed me into liking it with statements regarding its health and such. I was only really sold when we expanded our collection to chocolate soy milk.
It makes me happy. We started by putting it in our smoothies and you can't really taste a huge difference. side note: Sometimes people say that to allude to the idea that it tastes just a little bit worse... but in this case while its true that you can't really taste a huge difference, the difference you can taste is yum yummy. However, this phenomenon has only been proved in smoothie concoctions. I don't really feel like I could put the vanilla stuff on my cereal but maybe this will change as I have heard it is an acquired taste. Ok, I never heard that but it just makes sense that it would be.
Along with our soy milk kick we have been trying to be more healthy about what we consume. For Brent's family foundations class they have provident living projects and last week was about living a healthy lifestyle. So we started doing some research and working on working out. We concluded that the way the food industry is going that it will undoubtedly be one of those things that we look back 100 years from now and say what were we thinking? for ex. 100 years ago we didn't know about the detrimental effects of nicotine. Everybody smoked; I remember a story from Sunday School about how Emma Smith was tired of cleaning up the tobacco off the church house floor. Granted this was before the Word of Wisdom was revealed, but this story just reiterates the point about what a mainstream activity smoking was. Today we know that nicotine has a greater negative effect on health than does all the other psychoactive drugs combined. (thank you PSYCH201 for that tidbit). Anyway, coming back to the topic of food, we have begun taking baby steps like buying whole wheat bread or picking up some extra produce all in the name of living till we are 100.
