Re: What kind of milk do you drink?

Whole.

Skim milk is the worst bullshit ever. My mom always bought it when I was a kid because it was supposed to be healthier, and I hated it. Then I grew up and bought real milk and suddenly it didn't taste like shit any more. And then I started reading about the actual process by which whole milk is turned in to skim milk and basically skim milk is the biggest fucking fad scam bullshit food substance ever to be marketed as a "healthier alternative". (Okay, maybe second to margarine.) THE VITAMINS IN MILK ARE FAT-SOLUBLE. IF YOU DONT CONSUME THE FAT, YOU DONT GET THE VITAMINS. Also, in order to make skim milk look more normal after having been skimmed, powdered milk solids which are high in chelesterol that's not found in actual milk are added. And because technically nothing is being added that wasn't originally milk, it doesn't have to say so on the package. And the idea that what kind of milk you drink is going to determine whether or not you get fat is so stupid I can't believe anyone actually falls for it.

Why do we mess with milk? It is literally a miracle food item. TINY MAMMALS CAN SURVIVE CONSUMING MILK AND NOTHING BUT MILK. The human body (in many places) evolved very recently specifically to be able to drink milk into adulthood because it's so damn good for you that being able to drink it was an evolutionary advantage. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MILK THE WAY IT IS GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

God skim milk just makes me so fucking angry

I would be very sad if they stopped making skim milk because I think whole milk and 2% taste disgusting.

I totally understand you not liking it, but getting angry that it exists? Damn.

It more that it's marketed as being the healthy choice (and that it's completely replacing whole milk in schools based on totally faulty science.) personal preference is fine, but widespread misinformation sucks. Especially since it's not just about milk, it's kind of... All food. The idea that fat in food makes you fat is just untrue, and so much of a modern grocery store is set up according to bad nutritional science, it's kind of ridiculous. That's what makes me angry. Not other people drinking skim milk because they like it.

That makes sense, though it seems skim milk is a symptom of a larger problem in that case.
