Today's breakfast: I'm using up the last of a carton of organic vanilla soymilk on my cereal. Hmm . . . I wonder where this was made? (I'm beginning to take note of such things.) It doesn't say!
"Distributed by Kikkoman Sales USA, Inc." It's a processed food. It comes in an aseptic Tetra Brik package.
On the other hand, the jug of milk in my fridge comes from a dairy that has a plant in my county, the jug is recyclable, and milk is rated lower on the scale of cold-sore inducing foods at this helpful site: http://www.herpes-coldsores.com/diet_and_nutrition_with_herpes.htm#LysineArginine
You will probably have different criteria, but for me the scales have tipped in favor of real milk. The reason I buy the soy milk is because it is handy to have on the shelf in case I run out of dairy milk (a true family emergency worthy of a husbandly or teen snarl). Okay, I see my powdered milk comes from Middleton, Wisconsin. Not local, but better than "distributed in the U.S. by . . ." and it would serve in a pinch if I forget to buy milk in time for breakfast.
