Recently I have found myself playing around with soy beans. I have been doing a lot of research on the benefits of soy and been thinking about a variety of different ways that I could incorporate more soy into my daily dietary intake. Needless to say I have enjoyed every moment of it.
Reason being is that as what has transpired is that I have found myself learning and experiementing with making different batchs of different recipes of different flavors of soy milk. It all started because I had been thinking about getting a soymilk maker shipped from Japan but decided that it would be prudent to figure out if I like the stuff enough to put out the dough.
I have now been making soymilk by scratch for about a month and am now looking into expanding my soy cooking experience to include homemade soy burgers with the Okara and eventually trying to make tofu and find other ways to use the soy milk such as yogurts and such. I recently found that the Okara is often used in baked goods and also as an egg substititue and has recently found its way into commercially baked items. Check your nutritional labels, it is there listed as soy it really is simply Okara.
So here I am crushing, grinding milking away and was suprised to discover that I really do LOVE the soymilk that I have been making. Every morning I make some of the best Soy protein smoothes that I have ever had and of course they are all organic and processed with natural ingredients, filtered water and packed with protein.
Naturally I had to share with a few people what I have been doing. Such is the nature of humans to talk about the "stuff" that they see and do, where they go, what they think (hehe) and was surprised to find that a lot of people that I talked to became...

...nd the likes? I still have yet to hook a nice salmon which I would LOVE to do some day...smoke it....yum!
Who knows? Maybe someday I will make the complete transformation into the world of strict veganism but for now the canines in my mouth make it hard for me to fully subscribe to the notion that I am not meant to ingest meat from time to time...but...isn't that what awareness, exploration and conscious nutrition is all about?
Putting my own nutrition goals and supposition aside I will get on with the getting on. To make it easy on myself I youtubed the soymilk making process and found that it is quite similar to the process that I use, that is until my new soymilk maker arrives from ....Japan.....
SO here it is:
How to make soymilk

.... People do not have to become vegetarians, but people should consider other meat and food as alternatives. Ultimately, if a majority of people chose organic farms and foods it would put a heavy hit on the meat production business. People will be eating healthier, and they will be doing their healthy part in the ecosystem and that will help to lower greenhouse gas emissions and greatly improve treatment of animals. The prices of organic food just need to come down dramatically for people to buy it. Methane from liquid manure, nitrous oxide from manmade fertilizers, carbon dioxide from machines are why people have put themselves and animals into a dilemma and made it into a never-ending continuous cycle.
Simply stated, Soylent could provide easier and cheaper access to proper nutrition. According to Rob Rhinehart, Soylent is “everything your body needs.” Widdicombe describes the recipe: “the major food groups are all accounted for: the lipids come from canola oil; the carbohydrates from maltodextrin and oat flour; and the protein from rice. To
Protein from whole food has been around since the creation of the world and the times of the hunter-gatherers. Those ages didn’t have whey protein isolate, powdered casein protein, or any of those variations. They just had meat, nuts, veggies, and fruits. The biggest advantage that whole foods have over protein powder is that they stimulate the body’s metabolism more and take more time to be digested and absorbed than shakes.

This debate revolves around compounds found in real food, such as phytochemicals, Lycopene, and flavonoid which come from plants, tomatoes , and blueberries and have been proven to lower rates of prostate cancer, and lower rates of diabetes. Also, since soylent formula can be composed at home that alone brings major issues. Making Soylent at home without knowledge can cause major issue to the body and a overdose or underdose can have major effects that might put people in the hospital, and since the formula is freely online this nightmare is more real than the Soylent dream itself. As a result, it 's doing more damage to the general public rather than its original purpose. Hope Warshaw, from the Washington Post stated that “food selection and preparation and the act of eating are woven into the fabric of our culture, traditions, celebrations and self-expression” meaning that we eat for the pleasure of eating something new and exciting and the to express ourselves not to feel
As of now, nutritionists are unconvinced. A poll conducted by MedPage asserts that a most nutritionists do not believe that Soylent (or any meal replacement product) could be fully functional at this point in time; we are simply unaware of everything required to create the perfect nutritional profile for any person. Therefore, Soylent must be refined once nutritionists themselves are outdated. It could be necessary to understand every inner-working of the body and how it relates to nutrient consumption before a product like Soylent could act as a 100% (or even 90%) replacement for traditional
vegetable substitutes? The same people that are telling you that soy is an appropriate alternative
The idea of pasteurizing milk bagan in the 1920s, and later became an aspect of everyday life in the 1950s. Milk that has undergone this process is normally prefered since it is sterilized, therefore lowering the chance of human illness. However, it’s not the 1950s anymore, and the idea of pasteurizing milk has lost its luster for the people that now prefer raw milk. Unlike the milk that most Americans consume, raw milk has not been pasteurized, or quickly heated to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria. In raw milk, these bacterias haven’t been removed, leaving people at risk. E. Coli, salmonella, and listeria are only some of the bacteria that raw milk carries, all of which can cause sickness, or even death. Common affects of consuming raw milk are diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting, but it's the rare ones: kidney failure,paralysis, and death that causes raw milk to be illegal in half of the states and illegal to carry over state lines in its final form. Nevertheless, people still actively seek out and consume raw milk because they believe its nutritional values to be greater. Controversies surround this topic on whether organic food
Many people don’t believe think anything of what they eat or how it got there. But the harsh truth is the meat that you eat was once a living, breathing creature that had feeling and emotions. Maybe next time you order a steak or chicken nuggets you should think about the animals that went through extreme pain and conditions for you to eat. Not only is it inhumane to put animals through such pain, not eating meat and having a vegetarian lifestyle can have huge benefits to animals, the environment, and your health.
People have used the argument that eating meat plays an important role in the overall health of a human and it is the way the cycle of life is meant to be, but this is not the case. Eating meat is unnecessary. Becoming a vegetarian could save countless animals from unnecessary suffering, improve human health, and help preserve numerous natural resources.
- If you do not eat animal protein, then this cookbook will not be for you. It contains many recipes with animal protein.
There are usually three different stances that people take on whey protein. First, it is a magical powder that will give you amazing gains but must be taken immediately after your workout. The second viewpoint is a more neutral stance, these people will either take it or leave it, buy it if you can afford it. The third viewpoint will be totally against it with arguments such as “real food is all you need” or “whey is full of chemicals or will destroy your kidneys and liver”. The first and third stances usually come from a misunderstanding of science and the human body, and is almost a brain washing by the supplement industry.
Basic foods in a vegetarian’s diet are cereal grains and bread, beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Some vegetarians may use various products made from soybeans, such as tofu, or bean curd, soybean milk, and miso. Some vegetarians use foods that resemble meat, poultry, or fish in texture, color, and flavor, but that are manufactured from soybeans or other plants ("Vegetarianism" 59).
...ming I will be willing to contribute in any way that I can, and becoming a vegetarian will help the environment a great deal. Becoming a vegetarian can also lead to becoming a healthier person and living a healthy lifestyle. And lastly, the way animals are killed and treated in factory farms are unethical and they should not be treated the way they are just to create a meal for the next person.Consider that the animal you are eating was a vegetarian and the meat contains all the minerals and vitamins of the plant foods it ate when you eat it. Along with fats yourbody needs in substantial amounts to stay healthy.....more on the fats later. Meat is as close to a complete meal as you can get because of this.
