pelicanAndrew Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Soy milk is good if you're cooking something and substituting it in for milk. I also like it on cereal. Every once and awhile i'll chug a carton of chocolate soy/almond milk. Definitely not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Oh I'm sure your friends would pitch in to let you shower If I lived up north I think I'd have to live on grains, sprouts and dried fruit with only half of my greens intake...otherwise I wouldn't pay my heating bill or stop showering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yahr I drink soy milk regularly, have it in my protein shakes. But people often think that if you took soy milk / cow's milk out of your diet, you'd suddenly develop some kind of illness. Hahar! Fruitarians and raw foodists are the healthiest people, and they don't have soy milkz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveliberate Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 People make lots of excuses... My family & I eat mostly local/Cascadian produced organic foods bought mostly from locally owned stores - all while spending far less than most Americans do for their mass produced, low quality crap bought from multin-national chains. We shop around for sales, buy from discount stores & use lots of coupons! Sometimes it takes a little effort but we believe it is well worth it!

Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Produce is tough sometimes though...when I was in Maryland I could go to the closest grocer and pay a lot for organic or go way out of my way to save but then I'd wind up making up for the savings with extra gas money. Also there's the issue with national chains and where you live...where I am(you can ask daywalker) the cheapest place to get organic is Kroger(america's largest grocer) or I can go to the only natural food place and pay double or more than double and they almost never have anything on sale that isn't in a package.

JW Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 We have few options in Winnipeg.The national groceries are starting to stock more and more organic.We also have an organic food warehouse. You really have to seek these places out. One thing which helps is finding a farming co-opWe have a couple where you pay a certain amount for a share which entitles you to fresh veggies every 2 weeks. What you get largely is dependent upon the crops but I've never felt ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Next is Wal-Mart...I can really see them taking over the organic foods in towns that don't have big natural food stores and maybe even in towns with big natural food stores...I've already seen them with tomatoes, carrots, bagged greens, potatoes kiwi, apples, oranges...no bananas yet but its only a matter of time.

Cristian Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Can anyone tell me how much soy milk costs when compared to regular milk in your country? Because logically thinking it should be cheaper to produce it since soymilk doesn't require the soy to go through animals... I buy my soy milk from a supermarket called Tesco (UK), 1lt is about 65p and I think is one of the cheapest and tastes ok. Some other are more expensive, up to £1.20.

JW Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't drink too much soy milk but it costs in the range of 1.65 - 2.00 per liter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Get a soymilk maker for $100...it'll cost you about 10 cents a liter once you buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lelle Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think adding cocoa or other flavours like vanilla etc. should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 WHat all do you need? Soybeans obviously. Sugar? Anything else? I've seen ads for soymilk makers in VegNews and Vegetarian Times. It looks like you just put soybeans and water in (I don't know if you have to do some kind of prep on the soybeans first). Sugar isn't necessary (if you want to add sweetener, blending the 'milk' with some dates or adding agave nectar or stevia or some other sweetener, even apple juice, would be a better option. I think you can add other things after the 'milk' is made, but from the machine, it's just soy and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justineee Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Eating vegan food really isn't that expensive imo. It's more of the fake meats which are expensive. The other day, my sister and I were shopping at Sprouts, and she just got vegetables. I got coconut milk yogurt and fake chicken. She spent $30, I spent $50. So plant based foods themselves aren't that expensive, it is the specialty items that are. http://www.justinbillingsleyarizona.com/sprouts-farmers-market-best-grocery-store-vegans-budget/ I recommend Sprouts for any vegan on a budget.

beforewisdom Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 A vegan diet is like any other. The more you eat out, the more you buy ready to eat thing, the more you will pay. The more you make things yourself, the cheaper it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan.bil89 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 This is not always the case. Steaks aren't cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swipka79 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I am vegan as well and noticed how uneasy it is to support my health. Recently, I started to take special mushrooms VidaCap which is a quite uneasy way to support my health in winter. I am having a luck of vitamins and this way is an ideal method to maintain it quite better, to avoid different stresses and to check the ability to make it easier.
