Members sgt_politeness Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Choose your preference of milk! The first being your favorite and the third being your least favorite (you know, in order of yum to yuck). This poll inspired by my disgust for milk that is not 2%, and extreme boredom on a Saturday night. This thread may also be used to explain the evils of factory farming and how bad milk is for people...because I've never heard any of that before.

Members Bag_End Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 You didn't include 1% milk. I hate whole milk (too creamy) and skim milk is colored water. Reduced fat milk or 2% is good but low fat, or 1% milk, tastes virtually the same as 2% plus it's cheaper. http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/eatwell/content/1PercentMilk.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lokidecat Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Usually get 1%. Sometimes Skim. Rarely ever do I get 2% I'll never buy Whole unless i'm cooking (for the "cream" portion) We fondly know 2% as "Blue cap" And whole as "red cap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SHIVmongrel Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 as a connoisseur, i prefer the full-bodied texture and flavor of whole milk, especially when my cereal is swimming in it however, i was reared on 2%, the strength that my brother and i used to drink at the rate of 2 gallons per day when we were growing up nowadays, as i work at a desk, i watch my fat intake a bit more, so i opt for the 'pink cap' skim milk or 1% ...it still doesn't quite cut it for cereal though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zebra Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 I like whole the most, but I usually get 2% or something. This is the greatest poll ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members beam Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Soy. It's actually just as good for you, if not better, and you don't have to worry about the animal abuse that goes hand-in-hand with commercially produced milk. Actually, I'm not overly fond of any dairy product and went a very long time with minimal intake. You do that, and you will become lactose intollerent White Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Geuel Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Personally, I love milk. All milk. I can't remember why I always end up buying 2%...maybe it's because that's what my mother gets. Anyhoo, I can't really notice the taste differences between the different %s of milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Gots to chime in here. I'm not a milk drinker at all, but my wife has gotten on this organic/back to nature jag. She knows (heavy science background), just like I do, that organic is not more healthy than non-organic. Vitamins and minerals are vitamins and minerals. I think it's more of a trendy thing for her...anyway... Currently in my refrigerator is a gallon of unpasteurized, unhomogenized straight-from-the-cow's-teat milk.

Members Thunderbroom Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Originally posted by fretless no hormones and added funky chemicals in organic How does that make it necessarily healthier? A carrot is a carrot. I don't want to get into an argument about this though, as I'm not well-versed in the subject. My wife is, but she is still caught up in shopping at Trader Joe's. I pointed out her contradictions once, but know when to fight and not fight with my wife. It's cool with me. We're all gonna die at some point. I honestly don't think eating "healthier" is a guarantee of a longer life, but if it makes folks feel good...then I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted May 1, 2005 Members Share Posted May 1, 2005 Originally posted by Geuel Is there really such a thing as NONorganic milk? I don't know, but I do think that folks that are in the back-to-nature vibe should really consider supporting their local farmers by purchasing the kind of milk we do. It's right from the teat...can't get more natural than that. It seems to me if you're gonna go the organic route, you should go all the way.
