Who said soy is just for milk and tofu?

A Purdue University student created a soy and rice based modeling clay, Soy-Yer Dough, as a result of an academic project to create a wheat free clay for his professor and her daughter.

“One of my favorite professors mentioned she had Celiac disease. I had no idea what that was but I found out it meant she was allergic to wheat. So I set out to invent to help her child, who also had Celiac disease, and make a fun scented product and that was Soy-Yer Dough,” said Sawyer Sparks, creator of Soy-Yer Dough.

Sparks recently won a competition on the NBC business reality show Shark Tank, which resulted in $300,000 for a 51% interest in the product from three different investors.

Soy-Yer Dough is available in both soy and rice for those with soy allergies and several scents, including cherry, watermelon, and root beer.

We can’t stop posting about Audrey Kitching cause she can’t stop posting all her daily adventures in veg land.

The latest is her Facebook status, which describes how she feels on the juice.

“Raw veggie juice is so hard to drink. BUT detox is such a good feeling.. ugh.”

Whether your raw juice goes down smoothly or not, if you’re going to juice, you gotta have the right equipment.

Which is great that some folks decided to list the best of the best in juicers at consumersearch.com.

Yep, it’s nice to sit back and let someone else do the hard work.

There are juicers for citrus, vegetables, and even wheatgrass in case the cat is into raw juice too.

Ha. Just kidding wheatgrass juice lovers.

With prices from $20 to $300, there’s a juicer that won’t rub your budget raw.

Great news for you vegan musicians who happen to have Beatles nostalgia.

Planet Waves, a division of the D’Addario Co., is marketing the first set of authorized Beatles guitar straps and picks.

The straps and picks feature designs inspired by Beatles albums, such as Revolver, Meet the Beatles, and Yellow Submarine.

They took a little extra effort to manufacture because ex Beatle Paul McCartney insisted they not contain leather.

“(With) the straps, we also had the limitation from Paul McCartney being vegan that we weren’t allowed to use any hides,” said company president and CEO Jim D’Addario.

Well, actually, Paul’s just vegetarian, but who cares about technicalities!

“We had to create these out of synthetic materials and then put a sealer on them so they don’t affect the finish on guitars.”

Because of the synthetic material, extra care must be taken.

“You have a compatibility issue between some of these plastic materials and some of the finishes on vintage instruments and the instruments that are still made with natural lacquer finishes. And you’ve got to be careful when you put your guitar away you don’t store the strap behind the guitar with a lot of pressure on it. It could change the finish. We put a sealer on them that insulates the strap from the guitar finish. … So we have a little warning sticker on the back that tells people be careful with it. Lots of these straps are sold on the market successfully. It’s a question of making sure you know how to take care of it.”

So not too much drinking on stage during your performance or you won’t be able to care for your Beatles straps and picks properly when you put them away, okay?

The straps and picks can be ordered online.
