I was dairy-free when my youngest was nursing and got so sick of reading labels (actually I was top-8 free so I gave up on packaged food). Now, she is celiac so reading labels is critical, and I still almost glutened her the other day with pasta made with artichoke flour, because I missed the little "and semolina flour" tiny print on the box...sigh...thanks for posting this.

We were told if the customer didn't specify .49c bean burrito, don't ask, just charge them for the .99c burrito because most won't fight it at the window. I was recently in one in Tustin and was anticipating this recent tactic. I said "neither, I want the one on the menu", he said "oh, that is the medium" and rang it up that way. I said "no, it isn't and I want what is on the menu". He backed it out and re-rang. A ethical way to upsell is obvious and Del Taco chooses an unethical way to do it, on purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-67079898007005658322011-02-11T06:58:05.298-08:002011-02-11T06:58:05.298-08:00Thanks for this post.

According to the website, americancasein.com, "Sodium Caseinate is a spray dried high quality milk protein for use in a variety of food and pharmaceutical applications where binding and emulsification properties are important." Notice the key words: "milk protein!" The milk protein, casein, is one of the most allergenic food substances there is, and it is also used to make adhesive for affixing labels to beer bottles. Does that sound like something anyone would want to consume? <br /><br />Beyond that, no matter how much they alter it, casein comes from the infected udders of severely mistreated, factory-farmed cows. So whether you are avoiding dairy for health or ethical reasons, you wouldn't want to consume anything that contains casein or caseinate.Dorothynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-14262960957096016462010-06-02T15:51:18.551-07:002010-06-02T15:51:18.551-07:00Yes, that would be a problem for milk-based formul...Yes, that <i>would</i> be a problem for milk-based formulas, wouldn't it? Another problem is the reverse: did you know the milk-based formulas also contain <i>soy</i>?? Soy is not only one of the most highly allergenic substances on the planet, but according to our doctor that does our allergy elimination, it can cause a "cascade" of allergies--causing the person eating it to be allergic to the foods eaten with the soy (unless the soy has been fermented, like in real tofu or natto). Isn't that great? When our son was allergic to soy, I couldn't find a formula for him. I finally just switched him to raw organic pastured cow's milk at 10 months because the soy in his formula kept bothering him! Glad we have a nice dairy accessible to us, for sure.<br /><br />Crazy world, no?Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-86075477645415438332010-05-31T11:37:44.672-07:002010-05-31T11:37:44.672-07:00Oooh, I'm with you all the way on So Delicious...Oooh, I'm with you all the way on So Delicious coconut milk yogurt, coffee creamer, and ice cream!

This is the exact same conclusion our family came to a couple years ago, but I know it's not an easy one to face. It was especially hard for me to face that I had allowed my children to have those vaccines which are unethical. If you are curious about our journey, I wrote about it <a href="http://thoughtsaftergod.blogspot.com/2007/02/beyond-prolife-vaccines.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://thoughtsaftergod.blogspot.com/2007/05/beyond-prolife-vaccines-part-ii.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. One website that I have found helpful, even though we no longer vaccinate at all, is <a href="http://www.cogforlife.org/" rel="nofollow">Children of God for Life</a>, which is a really ugly website, just to warn you. However, if you click the button near the top left that reads "Vaccine Sources" you can have a complete tracing of all the vaccines available and whether or not they use fetal tissue cell lines. They also have a list of ethical alternatives, though they do not give other details, like dangerous ingredients. However, I have learned that those can be found at the CDC website.<br /><br />Your post was very encouraging to me, as I see more and more Christians thinking through these issues. I love seeing that God is working throughout His Body!<br /><br />I still remember the day Si looked at each other and realized that in using vaccines the way we were, we expected the death of someone else's child to bring life to our own child! But only one Child can bring life, no?Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-45666163241303223222009-06-30T01:36:16.283-07:002009-06-30T01:36:16.283-07:00Hi... just happen to cross your site...

There is much research out there, but you have to look for it. What I have gathered as far as the Asian cultures (and what you confirmed) is that they do not consume soy at the same levels that we are consuming it in the United States. Here it is in everything, but not in its original form. Most Asian cultures, from what I have read, consume smaller amounts and not in the modified form.<BR/>It is interesting what you mentioned about grains, especially with the grain allergy epidemic our children are now facing.<BR/>My information is not scientific, just wanted to report out what I've been finding in my personal research. It seems like many things in moderation can be healthy, but when they are modified and thrown into every product we need to "beware".<BR/>"So where do we go with all of this?"<BR/>--for me, I will not give soy formula to my infant.Dominic and Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124981169835272374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-35440242243617616722009-03-01T23:28:00.000-08:002009-03-01T23:28:00.000-08:00What you have posted is statements about the dange...What you have posted is statements about the dangers. That is all fine and good. But, where is the proof? Where are the references and how good was the research project? Just reading about statements is not enough. We need research projects that show this. Or, at least enough evidence that people are suffering from the ill effects of soy products and what these are. Also, why aren't the Japanese suffering from all these ill effects? I lived in Japan 12 years and we ate tofu quite often. I don't remember the soy drinks that are common today and we didn't take soy flour or soy powder or anything of that sort. The fermented foods such as natto and miso was eaten commonly. Moreover, beans of any sort have trypsin inhibitors, prevent absorption of zinc, etc. So does grain. So where do we go with all of this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357478690400653010.post-63311822389771933232009-02-09T08:27:00.000-08:002009-02-09T08:27:00.000-08:00Well "Ryan", what a good idea!
