Yesterday I Learned

that the new anxiety about food (other than whether or not you have any) will be how far it was grown from where you are eating it, rather than the pesticide thing.

Today I learned soy milk is unpleasant in coffee, separating into little tiny pieces that look like curd-beginnings. The nice coffeeshop guy showed me that it's normal for soy milk to do that, but I still felt queasy after I drank my coffee.

Soy milk in coffee takes some adjusting to. It does that weird curdling thing, and it just doesn't taste like milk. The sweetness makes it tolerable. I prefer it to no milk at all, but give me a little half and half or even reduced fat milk anyday.

"Silk" brand soymilk doesn't really "curdle." I drink my coffee with it every day, although, at coffeeshops I will use half-and-half like Beckett says.

I think it was Silk brand, though.

It didn't really curdle -- it just looked like the coffee had developed an infestation of brine shrimp.
