I am a big proponent of soy milk.  I find it delicious.  And there are so many excellent sources of calcium other than milk, as you said.

Me too. I also think soy milk is delicious, and healthier. So is soy ice cream and yogurt.

I know. I find it insulting that soy milk is so expensive. Not fair.

Nic - you haven't had any pheobe like meat cravings since getting pregnant?

Nope. Some blood tests did confirm I was mildy aneamic, due more to pre-existing gynae issues than diet.  I have not been completely repelled by meat as I managed to get cook some chicken for my cats when they were poorly, but I did find it gross.   Previously I went through a stage of craving beetroot which I think may have been related to needing more iron.  I haven't really had cravings, maybe a bit for cheese but then I love cheese all the time!

did you guys ever see that movie with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline - French Kiss?

One of the scenes that made me laugh out loud/cry in the theater was when she got sick from all of the cheese!!!  (I am so glad I do not have that problem.)  The other scene is when she flips over the pastry cart or whatever while crawling around on her hands and knees.

And, to stay on topic, I wonder if regular restaurant fare is as potentially problematic for lactose intolerant folks as it for vegetarian/vegan folks...?

I have a friend who is lactose intolerant to the point where she can't eat cheese and has to avoid pizza.  I'm not sure I would survive without pizza!
