May 29, 200916 yr Skim and Fat Free are pretty much the same thing.... 2% since the day I was born. I can drink any of it though.
May 29, 200916 yr Skim and Fat Free are pretty much the same thing.... 2% since the day I was born. I can drink any of it though. Also, isn't whole milk usually labeled with "VITAMIN D" to hide the high fat content? Where's the option for 1/2%? Meijer sold that and I bought it for a little while when I was on my mission to cut back from 2% to skim. That's been three years now and I haven't looked back. Edited May 29, 200916 yr by santo=dorf
May 29, 200916 yr I just drink skim. Personally, I don't notice much of a difference in the different milks, so I just drink what I figure is a little better for me.
May 29, 200916 yr Usually I prefer skim milk for drinking an 2% on cereal/for other cooking. Therefore, 1% winds up being a reasonable compromise.
May 29, 200916 yr I can't stand watching people drink milk with incompatible foods. For instance my sister always has a tall glass of milk with her Chinese food. *gag*

May 29, 200916 yr Once you go skim, you never go back. After a while you get used to the taste of skim and come to enjoy it.
May 29, 200916 yr Skim for me. The Oberweiss skim milk is awesome, but I can go with your standard one as well

If I were a server at an Asian restaurant and an adult ordered a glass of milk with their meal, I would be inclined to shove a chopstick in their eye socket.

Yeah, you have to respect the lactose intolerance of an entire continent and keep any and all dairy products off of Asian cuisine. Coconut milk and soy are perfectly fine alternatives. A grad student friend thought she had hit on a million dollar idea when she set out to pursue reduced-lactose dairy products for Asian consumers under the brand name Cheese For China. Didn't work and now she grows fish for a living.
May 29, 200916 yr D, it is the only milk that actually tastes like milk. The rest tastes like various stages of water mixed with milk. Blech.

I used to only drink 2% but after my mom switched us to skim growing up I've gotten so used to it that it's about all I drink now.
May 30, 200916 yr Can't stand the stuff and won't go near it. Just the idea of it kind of gives me the willies.
