Hemp milk is actually pretty good (esp chocolate) – creamier and more of an actual, milk-like consistency than other milk subs. Soy milk tastes like water that has somehow gone bad…but that’s just a personal preference.

it’s no joke, folks. i’m (almost) always willing to try new things so when i saw it on the shelf next to the rice milk i thought, ‘it’s a bit pricey but what the heck!’ live and learn…

i do, however, recommend vanilla oat milk- it tastes like liquid oatmeal cookies!

Hemp milk-sounds like a joke-are you serious? What next, bamboo milk?

Anyway Theresa, (since you asked, thankyouverymuch) the CCCYO is playing The Overture to Die Meistersinger, Farnadole, Shehandoah and The Moldau. All four orchestras may play Copeland’s “Hoe Down” from The Rodeo- that is still pending.

Thread jack over, thank you, patient Peeps.

Temperance: HEMP MILK?!?! That really doesn’t sound very appealing at all. Do you know anything about its nutritional content?

Hon Glad, I just don’t LIKE milk. Never had. Never could understand its value as a thirst quencher. My throat feels all thick and slimy just thinking about it. Pleh. HATED elementary school lunches, when milk or choco-milk were the only choices!

I’m really not a science geek, but I guffawed at the cat-ion joke! (I work in environmental engineering, so I have *heard* of cations [and anions and...], even though I know diddly-squit about what they do.)

Hon Glad- I’m lactose intolerant, but I’ve never tried the almond milk because I’m allergic to nuts as well. -_- I can’t win. I really miss Rocky Road ice cream, as I haven’t always been lactose intolerant or allergic to nuts.

Bowl o’ pudditat!

@Hon Glad, I drink rice milk to reduce my carbon footprint and because it lasts twice as long in the fridge as cow milk.

@David (the first one),
adult cats are lactose intolerant. You can buy special milk for kitties in little “juice boxes” at pet stores or, I assume, feed them lactose reduced milk from the grocery store. If you let them drink too much regular milk, they will get diarrhea.

I am somewhat lactose intolerant, but I drink soy milk because it tastes good. Asians have been drinking soy milk (not as a milk substitute) for ages. Absolutely delicious when hot, and I know many moms who make this fresh.
