no specific food is necessary for survival. So I could say the same about any other food out there. We all eat what we want to eat.

And today, says Dr. Barnard, “Plant-based diets are the nutritional equivalent of quitting smoking.”
“If we were to gather the world’s top nutrition scientists and experts (free from food industry influence),” read one journal editorial, “there would be very little debate about the essential properties of good nutrition. Unfortunately, most doctors are nutritionally illiterate. And worse, they don’t know how to use the most powerful medicine available to them: food.”

Soy milk isn't milk. Like comparing apples to oranges.
Or milk to wallpaper paste.

Judge me.
Not sure if this is true about soy"milk" but soy based baby formulas contain high levels of estrogen and other hormones that can eff up your babies growth.
sounds like what regular milk is full of. dont you know?
its a different kind of taste. i dont think one tastes better than the other. but i wouldnt know its been awhile since i drank regular milk.
almond milk is alot healthier for you, the animals, and the environment.

Only 19? That seems a little low. Lol.
the meat industry are losers. the last highlighted part is the most important. this is from michael gregers best seller "how not to die". i would rather pay a penny extra per pound and have antibiotic drugs, than not pay a penny and die from simple things like a cut. but the meat industry never gave us that choice. this is a free market miracle:
post-Antibiotic Age
Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, recently warned that we may be facing a future in which many of our miracle drugs no longer work. She stated, “A post-antibiotic era means, in effect, an end to modern medicine as we know it. Things as common as strep throat or a child’s scratched knee could once again kill.”147 We may soon be past the age of miracles.
The director-general’s prescription to avoid this catastrophe included a global call to “restrict the use of antibiotics in food production to therapeutic purposes.” In other words, only use antibiotics in agriculture to treat sick animals. But that isn’t happening. In the United States, meat producers feed millions of pounds of antibiotics each year to farm animals just to promote growth or prevent disease in the often cramped, stressful, and unhygienic conditions of industrial animal agriculture. Yes, physicians overprescribe antibiotics as well, but the FDA estimates that 80 percent of the antimicrobial drugs sold in the United States every year now go to the meat industry.148
Antibiotic residues can then end up in the meat you eat. Studies have revealed that traces of such antibiotics as Bactrim, Cipro, and Enrofloxacin have been found in the urine of people eating meat—even though none of them was taking those drugs. The researchers concluded: “Consumption amounts of beef, pork, chicken, and dairy products could explain the daily excretion amount of several antibiotics in urine.”149 These antibiotic levels can be lowered, however, after merely five days of removing meat from the diet.150
Nearly every major medical and public health institution has come out against the dangerous practice of feeding antibiotics to farm animals by the ton just to fatten them faster.151 Yet the combined political might of agribusiness and the pharmaceutical industries that profit from the sales of these drugs has effectively thwarted any effective legislative or regulatory action, all to save the industry less than a penny per pound of meat.
