Soya Stupidity (by sarah)
Currently suffering from having drunk cows milk in abundance I recalled that I wanted to write about what I think of as Soya Stupidity.
Now I tend to order drinks with soya milk when out becuase the chances of them having goats milk is remote and the only other non-diary option they normally offer is Rice Milk which I really can't stand (Jean loves the stuff). To my utter astonishment I have ended up with drinks made with soya with cream ontop :/ For me this completely defeats the point, but several times now in different coffee shops I have been told that poeple generally do want the cream and they have been shouted at for assuming that the person doesn't want the cream. They get shouted out far less just adding the cream unless you specifically say you dont want it.
This seems bizar to me as all the reasons I can think off for using soya milk would seem to me to render the use of cream a bad thing - to wit:
- You are vegan and therefore do not consume any animal products including cream.
- You have a food intolerance or other health problem that means diary products make you sick - this would I'd have thought made the cream probably worse for you than just having the drink made with cows milk without the cream?
- You are watching your diet either for weight lose or something like cholesterol control - again this would all surelly be voided by the presance of the cream
The only thing I can think of is that some people prefer the taste of soya milk but still like cream - personally I hat the taste of cream unless it is the pretend foam stuff in squirty cans and was always disappointed when things turned out to have real whipped cream on them.
It is an odd situation I feel.

Never mind at least your'e getting something done. I am doing very little and have just been told at the hospital that I am actually doing too much and should be resting more! I am about to rest again, I think there is a dent in the bed where I have been laying and the snores echo around the house from the amount of sleeping I have been doing, but never mind it won't last forever. Get well soon,
love Mum xxxxxxxx
