Hi Everyone. 

I've been reading this newsgroup now for about a week and I must say there's
some intersting things being brought up. 

To whoever posted that Christ was a vegetarian, I don't think this is anything 
we'll ever know.  I'm also not sure how it pertains to life as a christian. I
don't recall reading anything about how people shouldn't eat meat in bible. I 
guess I'm just trying to say that I find it difficult to believe that being
a vegetarian would make one a better christian. Enough of that...I don't 
really care to argue about the subject, I just wanted to get my 2 cents worth 
in. :) 

About vegetarian cats, Is that really healthy for a cat?  Some creatures were 
probably "made" or "built"  to eat meat.  Can you imagine a lion eating beans?
I'm just trying to debate whether or not that's healthy.  Maybe it's ok.  I've 
never know a cat who didn't like meat. :) 

Now for the questions (I guess I should have put this before the comments, but 
you can't win them all). 

I guess I should give a little background too so you all know what's going on. 
My name is Jill and I'm 23.  I recently bought a book on asthma and it has 
quite a section on food allergies.  After reading this, I decided that I'm 
probably allergic to milk, so I have managed to cut out most of the milk and 
cheese from my diet.  I've been off milk for about a week and I feel so much 
better.  I can actually breath through my nose which is something I haven't 
been able to do in years and years (it was always clogged up).  Anyhow, I'm 
having a great deal of trouble finding things to eat. I live in Wisconsin, 
land of cheese and dairy products.  I live in a little town, and the only kind
of soy milk that they seem to sell is the kind for babies --- I'm scared to 
try it because I get the feeling it will taste awful.  

I'm doing ok on my diet, but I'm getting kind of sick of eating rice cakes (only thing I could find remotely like bread that doesn't contain some from of
milk).  I guess I'd like to know where I could find recipes that contain no 
milk, and preferably no yeast.   I'd like to have soy milk or something for 
my cereal too (it's hard being a milkaholic and not having any substitutions).
First, can people recommend some good soy milk without any real milk products 
in it?  Second, I would appreciate if people could either let me know where to
find some good recipies that have no milk or cheese in them, or if you have 
some good ones online please email them to me.  

I haven't cut out meat yet.  I'd like to do that but I've decided that I'll 
have to wait until I get better at cutting out the dairy stuff.  I haven't 
been eating a great deal of meat though either...I only had meat once in the 
last week.  Anyhow, if anyone can help me out with suggestions, I'd really 
appreciate it.

Thanks,
	Jill
