Soy

Seeing as my Mikey has an allergy to whey, or milk, we drink nothing but soy milk in the house. Tastes pretty similar to me plus I don't want to ever make the mistake of reaching for whole milk while cooking his dinner. But, recently I ordered a pizza with soy cheese thinking it was o.k. Apparently not. We bought some soy cheese from Whole Foods and the ingredients listed that there is added milk fat or casein. Why would they do this? Apparently all soy cheeses have added milk by-products. I thought soy was supposed to be a good alternative to milk for those who are allergic. Beware! Just because it says "soy," doesn't mean its safe.
