Raw

My opinion is that it depends. Some people's cholesterol are more responsive to animal fats. I drink whole milk, and I think if you keep your carb intake relatively low, the fat from whole milk is fine.

While I do drink a ton of milk, I am of the opinion that milk is not needed at all to have a healthy diet. The dairy cartel basically lobbied to get it to be considered an important part of the diet and necessary for healthy bones.

Kid drinks whole milk, wife drinks 1%. I drink whatever one we have more of. As a whole drink what works for you, your calories should not come from a lot of liquids especially if you are trying to lose weight.

I used to work at the dairy department at Kroger and used to drink a gallon a day (normally whatever had a leaky seal that we were supposed to chunk anyways). Good, inexpensive way to get protein and calories in, especially since we subsidize it.

And in before someone says something about humans being the only species that drink another animals milk. We are also the only ones smart enough to process it so shut up.

almond milk. but that's b/c i think regular milk is pretty much disgusting.

i can somehow overlook it is in other forms of dairy, but not milk by itself.

Almond milk here.

I don't drink it, but the teenager and toddler go through it like madmen. We buy them whole milk.

I go for full fat yogurt and cheeses.

We go with 2% at our house. Try to cut down on the fat, but anything lower than 2% just seems too watery.

Almond milk is the key to the perfect bowl of cereal.

We tried making the switch. Consensus in the house was that it was gross. Almond breeze, silk almond, vanilla, sweetened, unsweetend. All just imparted a funky flavor we couldnt get over

but you like the nasty cow milk flavor?

Almond milk is low and calories...and protein and calcium. Don't get me wrong I think oatmeal taste best with using almond milk instead of water but there is not much there as far as what I drink milk for. But that is just me, I know if you were trying to lose weight it may not be a bad switch, but I prefer just to eat the almonds to get all the good stuff from them.

Hard core 2%er.

It's an individual decision. Look at your situation, your diet, the dietary needs of others in your household, and decide what is right for you.

I eat a lot of whole eggs and oils which are high in fat, so I go with 2%.... I'd probabaly go with whole milk if I didn't get so much fat from other sources.

I have read you dont get nearly as much of the nutrients of milk if its skim.

I usually buy 1%. I will drink anything though.

I love Promised Land if I am feeling rich(rarely)

No love for coconut milk? The wife and I like the SO Delicious brand, unsweetened, on everything we would normally have used milk for.

HEB Mootopia 2% lifer here. Most mornings I'm eating frosted shredded mini wheats with some fruit added. The chocolate version is pretty much the perfect post-workout recovery drink and is damn rich and delicious tasting to boot.

Isn't the #1 ingredient in that sugar?

I LOVE Mootopia. But I don't want it to get more popular, and thus even more expensive so...
Mootopia sucks. Don't try it.

HEB 1% and Promised Land chocolate. Sometimes, I get chocolate milk from Fiesta under the Highlands label- it is gluten free.

is great for calfs

I drink heavy whipping cream. That gets my vote.

BOOM!



Ok...I actually saw that in Pacific City, OR when visiting years ago and had to take a picture.

(I've been waiting two years for a reason to post this picture.... )

Looks like milk Nazis would drink.
