Soy Be It

Hey Susan--

glad you have a forum in which to expound your wonderfully caustic observations, now that you no longer write us from China. I still think we should publish the collected susan china missives.
Anyway, I've got two questions:
What's the deal with Brummel and Brown (yogurt based, methinks) imitation butter, and how bad is that Vanilla Soy Silk Dream Stuff for you? Since I am addicted to it.
And will probably drink more no matter what you say.
Hope DC is treating you well, and that you've managed to locate one of the 18 Starbuck's coffee houses on Dupont Circle.

Dearest Goat -

Ok, first thing's first. I've found my Starbucks of choice. There are three on my walk to work, and it's fun to decide which one will have the pleasure to serve me. Of course I love to be the only one in line who orders black coffee. I get a kick out of snubbing all the skinny mochiciano latte frappy hooey drinkers. But damn that drip coffee is good.

Vanilla soy milk is not so bad. Yes, a bit sugary, but you could do worse. And if you get it enriched with all the yummy vitamins and minerals, then good on ya. Let's not forget the seasonal Silk Soy Nog. 'Tis the season to throw it back.

Brummel and Brown? Sounds like a brand of sensible shoes. I've got to say, that stuff looks weird. Never mind that it's dairy which is pretty toxic, but it's some kind of yogurty buttery thing. That's not right. Why don't you try some Earth Balance spread (note: not Smart Balance). It doesn't have any cholesterol which will make your body very happy.

A little birdy tells me you also enjoy pink snowballs. What the hell? Why don't you just shove wet toilet paper into your arteries?

Much love, Susan
