1 percent, 2 percent, whole milk, skim...

[Charade]

You're preference?

I've been buying 1 percent for years. I don't mind 2 percent and think whole milk is too thick and sweet. Skim? Yuck!

 

[Mermaid02]

I buy skim. I don't drink it at all- use it for cereal and to cook with.

 

[Barb D]

I use 1 cup of skim each morning -- 1/4 cup for my cereal and the rest to drink. The rest of the family drinks 2%. I buy the smaller jug of milk for myself; otherwise it would go bad before it gets used!

 

[Fitswimmer]

I don't drink milk very often, I normally just put in in cereal so skim works for me.

 

[lisajl]

I switched my family from 2% to 1% and no one minds the difference.
I am happy about that because DH and I need to lose weight...every little bit helps.

 

[NMAmy]

Well, DH would like me to buy whole milk and I'd prefer to buy 1% so I compromise and buy 2%.

 

[Minniespal]

1 Percent.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Skim for me. I remember when my kids first got off formula and I would buy whole milk. It was like having cream on your cerael. I slowly went from Whole to 2% then 1% and now skim. My kids aren't big milk drinkers at all. Just big cerael eaters.

 

[froglady]

skim for me, 1% for DH & DS. I had to fight to get DH to accept 1% (I went from whole milk, to 2% first); he liked to put 1/2 & 1/2 on his cereal, and still uses it for his coffee.

1% here. I grew up on 2% but DH was used to 1 % so we bought that. For some reason it seems colder then 2%. I will drink skim if I have no other choice. If whole is the only choice I will go thirsty. I LOVE milk. My parents had to limit me to 2 glasses/meal growing up or I would drink a 1/2 gallon each meal.

I would have voted soy if that were an option. Instead I voted yuck . I really can't stand the stuff, not in cereal, coffee, with cookies or anyway imaginable. I'm not crazy about dairy products in general since they all taste too milky to me .

DH uses 2% occasionally on cereral and I'll use it to make DD oatmeal but usually a quart ends up going bad before we finish it. No one drinks it.

 

[Conservative Hippie]

I HATE milk, but we go through about a gallon a week for DH alone. I switched him from 2% to 1% to try to make it a little healthier. He would never drink skim!

 

[U2_rocks!]

We all drink whole milk. I don't find it particularly thick or sweet. My kids don't have weight issues at all, and DH and I mostly drink a little bit in tea or coffee, so the health aspect isn't an issue for us.

Note: Our milk is produced locally, and is more like American 2% than American whole milk.

 

[SC Minnie]

I went straight from whole milk to skim about 15 years ago. Even 2% now tastes like cream to me.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I drink 2%. Mostly because my younger dd needs the fat. When she leaves I will switch to skim.

 

[Crankyshank]

Skim. I don't recall ever drinking whole milk actually.

 

[Jenn Lynn]

Kids get whole per the Doctor because they needed to put on weight.

DH and I drink skim.

 

[jx3smom]

Mostly skim but sometime 1%.

 

[Luv'sTink]

1%, I love milk DH and DS mostly use it for cereal.

 

[binny]

1% here I dont like anything else.


my MIL had a fit because in Canada she buys 4% ????? Isnt that just whole milk?
