Goodbye Stoneyfield Farms!

Feb 18, 2008 17:38

Stoneyfield farms is a company that seems pretty cool. All of their milk and yogurt is organic and they get something like 90% of their milk from non corporate family farms. They send emails to their customers about living healthy and how to save the earth by doing things such as not using grocery bags or just using less plastic in general. The ( Read more... )

What is the only soymilk you see advertised on television and why? I am finally off silk after having known this for a little over a year. I go with rice milk now.

Yeah, I am a fan of Rice Dream and drink that a lot. As Paul has probably told you, Eden Soy is a Michigan based soy milk. I don't buy a whole lot of soy milk, but I love soy yogurt. My only other option right now is driving to the suburbs for soygurt and I don't wanna do that.
So yeah, not buying silk products will be something I will work on doing.

I heard about Silk and its relation to Dean foods, and I don't know what I should do!

By purchasing Silk, are we supporting the use of animal alternatives? or are we just fueling the cruelty machine?

Yeah, I feel the same way because most companies are not 100% vegan. Most companies have other products or are a subsidiary of another company that sells animal by-products.

The answer for me is to limit how much Silk I buy and try to find alternative companies that have less of an impact on animals and the environment. Eden Organics seems like a good alternative. I just have limited choices within Detroit city limits when it comes to soy yogurt. I know I can get Eden soy milk, but non-Silk yogurt is hard to find.

In some way we are all fueling the cruelty machine. I think the idea is to conciously lessen our impact to the best of our abilities.
