    If you have thyroid disease please do your research before making the switch to any sort of soy products. Soy can really mess up your thyroid hormone levels.
    That being said, I have thyroid disease so No, I don't drink Silk. My er... half sister in law(??) drinks it and she loves it

    No, I haven't tried it. I have difficulty even saying it w/out gagging. If they would sell it in pint size, I might but every store around here insists on selling it in half gallons. If I don't like it, then that's too much waste. Funny you should mention that your cats won't drink it. I buy organic whenever possible and Coco Puff used to love to lick the inside of egg shells but since I switched to organic, he turns up his nose. Wonder why.

    Milk ought to come from mammals, not plants.

    I agree w/you in theory, truly. But cow's milk is for cows, goat's milk for goat's. We get our milk from our mother's breast until we're weaned, obviously. My dilemma is that I LOVE milk and, thankfully, I'm not lactose intolerant but, because I agree w/your statement, I do feel that I should try soy milk. Plus it's supposed to be good for menopausal women. I'm just a fraidy cat to try it.

    I love it! If it wasn't so gosh-darn expensive it's likely that I'd get that instead of regular milk as I'm lactose intolerant. The chocolate silk is my faaaavorite.

    I don't like what I've tried enough to drink it straight from a glass, but using it in cereal, I like it. But, I know where I work, if you don't like something, there's no problem returning it for a full refund. I don't know how your stores are, but we also allow people to try something before purchasing it. It never hurts to ask.

    i have been using silk for years. the plain unflavored kind. i'm lactose intolerant. and never could fathom just drinking a glass of milk, soy or otherwise. but i use it in mac and cheese, and on cereal, etc. i don't like the flavored kinds tho.

    I cannot stand soy milk! It tastes like sandy liquid.

    Jonah calls it "yuk milk" and can identify it by the various cartons somehow..
