re:8th continent

[Guest guest]

I bought some of this soy milk before I had heard anything about it, in

a rush through the store, and i am glad that i did, because now i have

an experiential opinion, which is helpful when the subject gets heated.

I wouldn't buy it again just because it tastes like a melted fast food

vanilla milkshake, complete with all the bleached sugars and fakey

chemical flavorings, but also because I don't patronize non organic and/

or shady corporations that are far from ecologically sound anyway. Even

though it is not something i will ever be a consumer of, i am glad to

finally see the fast food veg options, mostly because as a teen veg i

just ate the fries (ugh) .The one good thing this does is bring

vegetarian and veganism into the minds of people who would maybe never

consider the lifestyle we call concious and correct as an option. It

will also ease the transition for new veggies who probably aren't

reading labels yet anyway. Think back, before you knew everything you

know about health and life and labels and respect for our fellow

earthings, your body and your planet, wouldn't you have loved a Mc

veggie on your lunch hour? Even though it is a lame attempt, and really

not positive because it is just marketing techniques instead of real

progress, all that aside, the mainstream at least hears the demand for

organic and vegetarian food. Of course, it's corporate response is some

toxic avenger ultra processed super marketed monstrosity....honestly,

what could we reasonably expect at this stage in the progression of the

world waking up to the harm and waste of the last century? The point is,

don't buy the silly " organic " tostitos, we all know that the land it is

grown in is still polluted from the last ten years of pesticide, the

corn is still " modified " , not to mention the processing and

preservatives.... BUT, it is a step... a sideways ill guided mutated

step... but a step nonetheless. ( by the way, which continent would

the 8th be, McDisNike?

Just wanted to say I really agree with what you said. The name of

your continent cracked me up.
