He's 7 1/2 and in the 1st grade. :-)<BR/><BR/>>>what does schmoo drink?<BR/><BR/>I almost always pack him water -- school is thirsty work! Sometimes he gets chocolate or vanilla soy, almond, or rice milk, horchata (cinnamon rice milk), or juice.<BR/><BR/>Hi, adam & eve -- I prefer organic, too. I love shopping at the farmer's markets and growing my own in the summer. Right now it's all from the grocery store.<BR/><BR/>>>How doe baked falafel compare to the regular deep fried ones?<BR/><BR/>They were tasty! I sprinkled them with a bit of olive oil before baking. They did get crispy on the outside, but not as crisp as deep fried.<BR/><BR/>Re. the soy controversy, I agree that it's all about moderation. People in Asia have eaten soy foods for centuries. I think the weirdness occurs when we break soy down into "isolate" (which is what was used in the animal experiments). If you're concerned I would say avoid "protein bars" and processed foods, and stick to traditional soy foods like tempeh, tofu, soymilk, edamame, miso, etc. <BR/><BR/>Also someone was asking about genetic modification in soy. I wanted to note that most soy you find in health food products is organic -- check the label. Most GM soy is grown to feed to animals in feedlots and factory farms, so if you want to avoid it I would recommend -- you guessed it -- going vegan! :-)Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.com
