I thought the same thing at first. But apparently only their caramel SAUCE has milk ingredients in it and their caramel SYRUP doesn't.

No need to say that we were dizzy, full and broke after less than two hours.
In the end I bought some of the curry spread, black olive tapenade and a fig-cocoa-mint chutney...

Dinner tonight will be this soup and there's still a huge melon in my kitchen...

[Paragon]

Toasted bagel with pure,

organic vegetable soup with a couple of corn cracker things,

Steamed vegetables including cabbage, potatoes, garden peas ( all organic)

I have trouble at work since I have to take stuff with me, but I am trying to cut down on bread so I can lose a few pounds, so we will see what I take with me in the morning.

I don't think it looks like a lot of food. The only thing that I don't see are a lot of protein sources...I think you should include more beans, nuts, and fake meats (if you're into that) in your diet and then it would nicely balanced.

I'm fighting off the flu. I've had half a can of five bean soup, lots of orange juice, several handfuls of pumpkin seeds, and several Cold Eeze zinc gumballs. Than I read that zinc therapy is useless against the flu. The gumballs are also not vegan.
