slo's Friday poll - Milk

[FlightlessDuck]

I voted skim, but I don't drink milk. Put it in cereal or coffee, use in recipes, etc. But I don't just drink a glass of milk.

And sometimes we use whole milk in recipes... especially mac & cheese.

I buy 5-6 gallons a week.

My DH and I drink skim

My two boys (18 & 19) drink 2%

 

[bjscheel]

2%.

I was raised for the first part of my childhood on our own milk straight from the cow. We always had a pitcher of it with an inch of cream risen to the top. When I went to kindergarten and had the school's 2% milk I thought it was awful weak! I've gotten used to it though

 

[saraschoening]

I am surprised by all the skim milk results. I grew up with 1% so it was a very easy change for me to switch to skim once I was on my own but I find that I get a lot of comments from friends/family about how I can manage to drink it.

 

[tennisfan]

1% Mainly unless I can't get it then I will buy 2%

 

[wishesuponastar]

I don't remember when we switched to skim but I know it was over 20 years ago. We drink 3-4 gallons a week. Two teenage daughters and a little for DH and I.

Grew up on skim, we have 1% in the house! but most don't drink it straight. My kids are thin (2 are definitely underweight, 1 very), but so was their dad until he graduated from college. I don't want them to get used to the taste of whole or 2%, and then have a hard time making the transition as adults.

Skim for hubby and baking.

Almond for me.

 

[JanaDee]

I have never heard of 1/2% milk.

 

[Kbee]

I don't drink milk, only use it in my cereal. Skim for me and dh, 1% for the kids.

 

[ashley0139]

I don't like milk. I don't even keep it in the house. I'll only buy it if something I'm cooking needs it, and only a tiny container because otherwise it will go bad.

I personally have never understood how someone could just drink a glass of milk. It's so gross to me. Even as a kid I didn't like it.

 

[usnuzuloose]

I chose 2% , but I am a milk alcoholic I drink them all.

 

[JesusPlaysMetal]

Almond and coconut milk. Word of advice men, don't drink soy.

 

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

We use 2% and we keep vanilla almond milk here for our granddaughter who is lactose intolerant.

 

[E&Cmom]

We drink 2%. We use half and half for coffee.

 

[JesusPlaysMetal]

Does anyone drink organic or just the store bought stuff that comes in the large plastic container.

 

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

Double

Not a big believer in the whole "organic" thing, so no.

 

[ronandannette]

For about 10 years now, 1%. Used to be 2% for about 10 years before that. Before that it was whole milk.

Sometimes a gallon lasts only three or four days. Other times, like now, there's still half of the gallon left with today's date as the sell by date.

If it wasn't for DH & DS I'd never buy more than a litre at a time and would likely have 1/3 of that spoil. When DS is away over the summers I buy it by the 2 litre, but DH is such a creature of habit he can't help always going for the gallon.

Yea I used to think the same way until I researched it some more and found out what the cows were eating that went to the milk. The only things we buy that are organic is anything dairy,fruit, veggies, eggs, chicken and anything the baby eats.
