ACCA-Amazing! Days have passed and I haven't even been counting. I thought I was on day 22 if I had to guess.
I was drinking pearl tea everyday before this challenge, sometimes even 2x a day! Jasmine Milk Tea ADDICT!
Surprisingly, during my first week I didn't think about it. It's hard! All my friends love that shiz and it's a good socializing thang, esp. for me. lol
Anyways, I decided to do some research on this. From what I remember, when I used to work at a pearl tea place years ago - they use a NON-DAIRY CREAMER. So, I thought to myself oOo! I can have one! It's NON-DAIRY!
Knowing me and how serious I'm taking this Vegan Challenge, I wanted facts!
DEFINITION from wikipedia:
"Non-dairy creamers or coffee whiteners are liquid or granular substances intended to substitute for milk or cream as an additive to coffee or other beverages. They do not contain lactose and therefore are commonly described as not being dairy products, although many contain casein, a milk-derived protein."
WHAAAT? so it's not non-dairy right??? WTH? why would you call it NON-dairy?
Check this link out:
"Non-dairy Creamers Are Not What They're Quacked Up To Be"

Wow, the government sure doesn't give a FUCK! (excuse my language) but seriously? if anything, they're the ones brainwashing us to buy all these things that are BAD for us.
So, my next question... What is Casein?
"the main protein present in milk and (in coagulated form) in cheese. It is used in processed foods and in adhesives, paints, and other industrial products."
WOW.. "MAIN PROTEIN PRESENT IN MILK" ?! So, "non-dairy creamers are really not what they're quacked up to be!" This is crazy.
Why let them label something non-dairy if it isn't? BS!
"Casomorphins are peptides, i.e., protein fragments, derived from the digestion of milk protein casein. The distinguishing characteristic of casomorphins is that they have an opioid effect." (wiki)

No wonder!!! This whole time I've been thinking, dreaming, fantasizing, hoping, yearning, salivating, missing, (this could go on and on) about damn you, CHEESE!
#theaddictiontocheeseisreal
mac and cheese, cheese fries, cheeseburger, cheese pizza, cheesecake, cheese errrthang! WHY!!!!!!!!!!
"Opioid effect. It takes 10lbs of milk to make 1 lb of cheese. As milk is turned into cheese, most of its water is removed leaving behind concentrated casein and fat. So, concentrated dairy products, like cheese, have especially high levels of opiates, even morphine."
and so is milk tea. no wonder they're so addicting!
