Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me about my soy questions. I love unexpected help/support like that, and I really appreciate your thoughts! I checked out your faq page (and all your other pages, too! love your look/story bar business!)- and it seems to me like my own answer is coming together… which is unfortunate b/c soy is so easy as a dairy substitute but is probably not my safest option or best option anyway. i wouldn’t cut it out altogether and i’m interested in trying tempeh. i also now want to read slow food nation! i think i have heard it before but had forgotten it was on my read list, and now hearing you highly recommend it i’m bumping it up:) did you read fast food nation? i remember liking that.
