    Sites similar to fooducate based on vegan principles

    I think it would be a good idea if someone could come up with an algorithm which rates foods based on certain principles. I have trouble remembering all of the facts I have read in books. So it would be very useful if someone came up with some site which grades every food. I found this site...

    Oil subs other than tahini

    I've been persuaded that oil isn't good for you. One sub that I saw recommended was Tahini but I can't stand the taste of it? Does anyone know of a different sub? Thanks.

    Are there pretzels with potassium chloride

    I always loved salt, so much so that I would even eat without food. I was probably eating a teaspoon of it a day. I then found out that it isn't good for you. I then tried potassium chloride and love the stuff. I can't figure out why this stuff is not more popular. They don't even sell it...

    Why do they put so much sugar in soymilk?

    if you look at the ingredients for this product silk original-soymilk you'll find that cane sugar is one of them. Plus the product has 6 g per 110 calories which means if you drink 2000 calories of it you would drink 109 g sugar which is way beyond the 25g daily limit. Almond milk isn't...
