The ice cream is actually really good (Soy Good). I was hesitant to try it out, but one of the sisters at church gave me some when I was over there and it was really good, so I bought the berry flavored one.
I will be stopping by the health food store sometime this week and I'll get the name of the yogurt, and I suppose I'll try it out and see how it tastes and let you know.

Also just wanted to let you know that the cheese is a local cheese called 'Cheddar Falvored Loaf' by Okanagan Soya Co. which is well you guessed it in Canada, but I would think that it could be found at a good health food grocery store. Definitely good "cheese" and melts nicely and tastes great!
God Bless,
Will

There is a tofutti ice cream that is nice too.

I think the whole purpose of trying to eat more healthfully is so that our minds are more clear to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to the heart. We want to not be deceived in these last days.

I find some of these health principles a struggle in my life...not that I don't want to follow them, I do, but also find it difficult at times when eating out or when asked to someone's home for dinner. I think I need to get to the point where I'd rather go hungry than eat something that isn't good for me, when eating out. When in someone's home, if it is cheese or dairy, I will eat it so as not to offend. Sometimes it is hard to know what to do in these situations.

We have been so blessed with the SOP and the inspired concepts. Let us always remember that God says what he does, with a divine understanding of the things that affect our salvation. Who better than he, the creator of our bodies, would know best how to keep them healthy.


Man's study of the science of nature, unaided by the Holy Spirit, falls short of the precious things Christ desires him to learn from the things of the natural world; for he fails to be instructed in the great and important truths which concern his salvation. CW p 375

It (the Bible) has not been honored above every other book in the education of children and youth. Students devote years to acquiring an education. They study different authors, and become acquainted with science and philosophy through books containing the results of human research; but the book that comes from the Divine Teacher has, to a great extent, been neglected......Who and what are these men of learning, that the minds and characters of the young should be molded by their ideas? They may publish with pen and voice the best results of their reasoning: but they grasp only an item of the work of God, and in their short-sightedness, calling it science, they exalt it above the God of science. STE p.54

The spirits of darkness are combining with the human agencies to set them firmly against the commandments of God. Traditions and falsehoods are exalted above the scriptures; reason and science above revelation; human talent above the teachings of the Spirit; forms and ceremonies above the vital power of godliness. RH3 p.239:3

I have had the soy yogurt as well, it is quite tasty and an excellent alternative to the "real thing", I often use it to make a tasty vegetable dip (otherwise I must go without). However, we talk a lot of using soy by-products to substitute for our dairy products. Recent research is suggesting that too much soy is not healthy for you either, in fact, if you have thyroid problems or other hormone related difficulties, it is recommended to not eat soy as it imitates estrogen and cause further problems.

Here is an article speaking to this matter
