Hey everbody,

I'm new to this group and a new vegan.

I was discouraged when I saw such hostile remarks being made towards each o=
ther. I'm sure that's not the group as a whole, but I think that if you pos=
ted more ideas, recipes, and helpful information rather than personal opini=
ons everyone, including a beginner like me, would benefit much more.

Anyway. I love that this resource is here either way.

Does anyone know of something I can eat cereal with in the morning other th=
an Silk or Soy Dream?

I'm not having much luck and wasting my money when it comes to buying milk =
alternatives.

Thanks!

Mikee.

Have you tried Orange Juice? I have an uncle that loves it that way. For me,
it's yogurt.

Welcome. Why did you decide to be a "vegan"?

Why?

If you're interested in good health, you should be offended that most of
the recipes here involve lots of fat and/or lots of sugar. Most recipes
here would indicate that the average "vegan" diet is every bit as
unhealthy as sugar- and fat-laden diets containing meat and dairy.

> Anyway. I love that this resource is here either way.

Yeah, so do I.

If you want to have a bit of a sugar overload, try apple juice. Most
soymilks also contain a lot of added sugar, so it's probably a wash. I
don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I occasionally opt for oatmeal in
the mornings. And not that "quick" stuff, I prefer as close to whole
grain as possible. Boil it for a while and add a bit of your preferred
sweetener (maple syrup works. Doesn't need anything else.

If you still like the taste of real milk, try supporting humane organic
dairymen. Their products deserve support from people who care about
cows. By avoiding ALL dairy products, you're not contributing to any
solution. Milk does have some benefits, particularly if it's low-fat or
skim.

Give Blue Diamond Almond milk a try.

Really great,

Promoting the consumption of milk on a vegan Newsgroup.
You really are a stupid troll.

Thanks, Raymond. It's nice of you to make a post that doesn't contain
racist epithets like "gook" or "chink." At least you haven't made your
racist attitudes personal like your obtuse little protege, Zakhar.

> Promoting the consumption of milk on a vegan Newsgroup.

No, I gave an alternative to someone who asked for one. In fact, I
offered *several* alternatives which had nothing to do with milk or
other animal ingredients. What useful purpose have you served lately,
other than keeping the pubs busy? (Sorry, kerb crawling ain't exactly
"useful.")

> You really are a stupid troll.

Not at all, but I'll still take it as a compliment coming from an
drunken old sod like you. Funny that your goodwill is about as
shortlived as your sobriety -- not that I was expecting it to last.

Don't worry, we have resident mock-vegan trolls. You'll learn to spot
them pretty quickly.

Depends what brands are available to you. There are LOADS of different
non-dairy milks available, at least in the UK -- 'health food' shops tend
to have a moderate selection, but the best selections are to be found in
independant co-operatives (including fresh soy milk, which is my favourite
kind of soy milk by far). My favourite milk-alike for cereal (and possibly
in general) is actually oat-milk - it's not especially like cows-milk and it
has a very mildly porridgey taste that's great for cereal. If you don't
want a milk-alike, unsweetened fruit juice can be 'interestingly
different', as can the syrup from canned fruit (that you can also add
to your cereal).

==========================
LOL The simple rule for simple minds in action. As long as you don't eat
any animal parts, you don't care how many animals die for all this processed
food stuff and canning? You guys really are just too precious for words.
Well, there is one word, hypocrites....

Try almond milk, oat milk, and rice milk. There's nothing wrong with
eating cereal dry and having a delicious drink alongside it to help
wash it down either.

Also consider having non-traditional foods for breakfast. Lately I've
been having fun eating squash for breakfast.
