'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Heh. I'm lactose-intolerant too, but not enough to give up cheese. Or ice cream. Or yogurt. Or cottage cheese. Mmm, cheese.
But I do buy Lactaid for milk, which freaking rocks. And in addition to being tasty lactose-free milk (I used to hate milk as a child.) it has an inexplicably long shelf life. Like, four times as long as regular milk. In my house where milk doesn't go fast, it's really economical for us to be able to buy it and have it around for a while.
Vegetarian means no meat, vegan means no animal products.
According to this [link] all US available soy formulas contain vitamin D which is dervied from lanolin, which is derived from sheep's wool, so they are not technically vegan for the extreme purists.
Even so, that web page notes that soy milk is NOT an acceptable substitute for infants.

Yes! Me, too. I love being able to drink milk without fear of intestinal issues, plus the long shelf life is wonderful.
Yeah, I know people who buy Lactaid milk just for the long shelf life.
The last time I tried Lactaid milk, it tasted like chalk and had a weird texture. Have they improved the formula in the last few years?
I dunno, Jessica. It tastes great to me. It doesn't taste or feel any different than regular milk to me, other than it doesn't make me sick.
You know, I'm almost tempted to check out the vegan boards to check out their take on the... bad thing that happened....
Damn. The Vegan baby folks got sentenced to life in prison.
I mean, they were extremely stupid, but....
Although the life sentences were automatic, Sanders and Thomas begged for leniency before sentencing. Sanders urged the judge to look past his "perception" of the couple.
"I loved my son _ and I did not starve him," she said.
When the judge told the defendants they could ask for a new trial, Thomas hung his head low.
"I'm dying every day in there," he said, "and that could take three years."
Still, even in prison, that's two years and 46 weeks more than his son got in this world.
