So 1% is a little lower than semi-skimmed, it seems.

You'd think that! but i bleedin love eggs! I get my eggs from a local farm up the road and they are beautiful... infact... I might make myself an egg muffin now
Thanks for the explanation guys! and actually come to think of it I have seen 1% before. my gran has loads of it (all gone off *pukes*) in my mums apartment in Spain. milk in a cupboard in the costa del sol is NOT a good idea. I dont care if it says Long Life they LIE!
Gekko: no! it makes me feel sick haha. I dunno. I've drunk it for years but hey thats me. When eating meat I tell myself "yum, muscles and nerves and blood vessels..." I swear my mind wants me to turn me away from some foods.
Milk/cereal in the morning... 1/2 liter before bed, ever since I was little. Started out as whole milk, but it seems we've moved down to 1-2% because of my dad.
Anyways, I'm just thinking here... Wouldn't Soy Milk qualify as unnatual? Or at least more so than milk? I mean, its processed soy beans...

Now you have.
And it's all about 2%. Always have, probably always will.
get this--my family (5 ppl and one doesnt drink milk) go through 7-8 gal/week. yeah, we love milk we buy skim. it tastes almost as good as 1 or 2% but is probably better for you.

I don't generally drink milk on its own, although I usually put half-a-cow's worth of semi-skimmed in my coffee. I tend to find drinking neat milk leaves me feeling a little sickly.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
I really, really hate drinking milk. Those little bottles of warm full cream milk that we had at school still give me the fear. I used to force down the first bit, and leave the gross creamy bit at the bottom. But evil teachers made you finish it, which would pretty much make me barf.
I haven't drunk a glass of milk since I was infant school age. If I drink anything dairyish, I get a disgusting taste in my throat for ages. As I'm asthmatic, I don't have an awful lot of dairy, because it's supposed to be mucus forming, and it doesn't make me feel great. I've always preferred my coffee black, anyway. I make a white sauce with milk on occasion, and very rarely have ice cream.
However, I am slightly obsessed with cheese. I love it, in any incarnation. That's where i start to wonder if I should eat it, because milk doesn't agree with me. I do try and eat goats cheeses when I can, and the rest of the time I just love the cheese too much to resist.

On the rare occasion I eat cereal I have the tiniest amount of milk ever too. And it pretty much has to be Shreddies.

Jersey milk is the best in the world. I was brought up on 'Whole Milk' which is practically yellow in colour and soooo creamy but now drink 'Fat Reduced' with 2.9% fat.
Jersey Dairy's 'Whole Milk' is 5.1% fat!Blue Velvet said:
I drink soy milk/chocolate most of the time. Only when there is a sale on regular milk is when I will have some. I like fat free and 1% milk.
My roommates can't seem to finish their cheese before mold starts to grow. I remember my mother used to scrape the small amounts of mold that would grow and then use vinegar as a cleaning solution. Hey, it works. Vinegar kills weeds you know.
I really love goat cheese. Tried introducing a little bit to my 5 year old niece on her pizza. She did not like it.

Must be a midwest thing - I love that Oberweis Skim - amazing. My wife HATES milk and calls it "coagulated cow piss." Needless to say we don't have it in the fridge very often. The only time she'll ever have milk is if I bake some cookies and even then it has to be the super watery non-Oberweis skim. Hates mike, loves cheese - go figure.
Grew up on whole milk and Cap'n Crunch [man, the roof of my mouth is bleeding just from the memories ], but moved on to 2% in my 20's. My wife is a skim drinker, and I resisted for the longest time, but I have been assimilated.
We still get 2% for my son, and every now and then I'm not paying attention and pour myself a glass. Like drinking cream!

Was also thinking along these lines. Add some vodka though, so the White Russian it will be. DUDEdietcokevanilla said:Meh. The only way to drink milk is with added Kahlua and ice
Milk is the best ! As a child I was doing a gallon a week of the whole stuff. I cant imagine ever drinking 1 or 2% i liken it to... try drinking a glass of milk, then immediately after, with out rinsing out the glass put some water in that glass and then drink that. The water is kind of opaque and cloudy, thats what 1 and 2% are to me. Im down to about half a gallon a week now that im 22 and im grateful for all the calcium in that milk i broke my fibula playing football doc said the milk probably saved me from breaking my tibia as well. Thank you whole milk.
