Have you ever tried soy milk?

Soybeans are used to make milk How do you think this happens?

Buckets and bowls that are used need to be cleaned

Women in the village use a machine to make the milk

Beans and water are put into the machine

A pink bucket collects the milk The black bucket collects the scraps What do you think the scraps are used for?

The scraps are used to feed the pigs

The milk is poured into a steel pot and then cooked

While the milk is cooking sugar is added

The milk is stirred When it is hot enough it is left in the pot to cool

How does it compare to the way your milk is kept? The milk is placed into plastic bags to sell or into a container with a tap Can you imagine what this looks like? How does it compare to the way your milk is kept?

After the milk is made the machine is washed and cleaned

The school children from the local village enjoy a cup of soy milk
