My son and I love the Pacific Brand. The TJ's brand is quite good, too, and
it's not fat-free like Pacific (that's an issue when you're trying to get
enough fat and calories into a multi-allergic, growing boy). He only drinks
it with Ghirradelli (sp?) cocoa powder, also a bargain at TJ's.

I can't drink Rice Dream Rice Milk - it's got safflower oil in it and I'm
allergic to that, probably due to its relationship to ragweed.

What a schlep to get edible food! And we thought we had it bad because we
had to drive 4+ hours to get to the nearest IKEA!

Fortunately, TJ's is expanding like mad - maybe you'll get one closer.
