slo's Saturday poll - Milk

[dizneenut]

I don't care much for milk, but when I do drink it, I drink Skim.

 

[Nite0wl71]

I rarely drink milk, mostly with chocolate chip cookies. I buy 2% for Stacey.

 

[EthansMom]

I drink fat free (skim), DH drinks fat free Lactose free, and the kids drink soy milk. Sometimes it feels like half of my refrigerator is being used for storing milk (I buy the kids' soy milk bulk at Costco).

 

[lesroi]

I only drink skim... But I am weird, I put ice and filtered water in the glass and then pour in some skim milk. I know, weird, huh? But I live in Florida where it's H O T so icy-cold milk tastes GOOD!

Milk is Ucky.

*IF* I have a bowl of cereal (which in itself is rare, because I really only make the effort to eat cornflakes or grape-nuts, all other cereals I can easily pass on), I use whatever is in the house. My DD is 5 and she already has the same dislike for milk that I have... Only on her cereal, please.

I ALWAYS buy 1% when I go shopping and DH ALWAYS buys 2% when he goes. Yet, he never says anything about me buying 1% (and he actually drinks the stuff).

I have a friend, whose family of 4 goes thru roughly a gallon of milk every day. At my house, we *might* use a whole gallon in a week, but it's probably more like 10 days.

I love milk. Mmmmmmm.

I use 1% and would love to switch to skim, but I just haven't developed a taste for it. It's just too watery to me.

I don't drink a lot of milk but we buy 2% for the kids

other: our family drinks organic rice milk....kinda like if you had a bowl of rice krispies with skim milk...tastes like the milk would after the cereal is gone. Wanted an alternative to cow's milk, but could never get used to the beany taste of soy!!!

evey once in a while, I have to buy organic cow's milk for cooking where the rice milk won't work, ie., won't thicken or something....

 

[MEG&MINNIE]

Chocolate milk for dd

 

[Planogirl]

Our family drinks 1/2%. I've tried to drink skim but it seems watery to me. I don't drink all that much milk anyway.

I occasionally see low fat chocolate milk out there. I've been tempted to try it but I'm afraid that I might like it TOO much!

 

[ZachnElli]

I buy skim for dh and I and 2% for the kids. I know that dh sneaks the 2% when I'm not looking though. And my kids do know the difference and can't stand skim milk. I will use 2% whenever I want to make chocolate milk. We are a big milk drinking family. My kids prefer milk over anything else! They won't be happy today because I'm gonna make them drink water all day, just have to sometimes.

other: I drink about a quart of milk a day and mainly drink raw milk. I started out drinking raw milk when I was a kid, but it's hard to find now that I'm in the city. I became lactose intolerant about 3 or 4 years ago and started drinking raw milk again. I forgot how amazing it tastes!! I bought a "cow share" and now I drink raw milk pretty much all the time. The biggest problem is that if my husband gets ahold of it before I skim off the cream he just shakes it all up and the milk is wayyy too rich like drinking ice cream!! I like to take off almost all the cream to make butter. yummmmm And for those that are wondering: if you're lactose intolerant, you're reacting to the milk sugars. Milk sugars are produced in the paseurization process, raw milk is not pasteurized therefore there is no milk sugar. Pasteurization also kills all of the vitamins and good bacterias (and bad) in the milk. All vitamins listed on your milk container are added back to the milk artificially after pasteurization.

 

[Madaboutthemouse]

Just skim milk here. I do like chocolate milk on occasion too! Mmmmm!

 

[joshsmom]

I'm a 2% gal. I TRIED so HARD to like Skim, I really did. But to me it looks blue--so I can't do it. Maybe if I added chocolate to it . . .

 

[azgal81]

Don't drink milk it's nasty!

 

[BillSears]

I don't drink milk. I don't eat cereal so no milk for that. I rarely cook with milk either. So you almost never find any milk in my fridge. But I do use cream or half and half in my coffee so I always have some of that.

 

[MsDisney23]

Sandy, I need to buy a COW... I drink about 2 1/2 gal. of milk a week all by myself.....

 

[Stacerita]

I have never liked milk. I think it tastes icky. The only time I actually have any milk is if I have a bowl of ceral. And then thats like only once a month if that. And then I only use lactose free fat free milk.

[beachbunny]

Ewwww milk! So gross. Aren't humans the only animals who continue to drink milk after we're weaned? A half-gallon of non-fat will sit in my fridge until it goes bad. I only use it for cooking and cereal.
