I have been drinking 1% milk for such a long time that now it tastes too rich to me. Plus, I'd like to cut my cholesterol. But I hate non-fat milk. I think 1/2% milk would be a good compromise, but in my state they don't sell it. I think it takes an act by the legislature to allow it. So, I am taking a poll, only for those who presently drink 1% milk.
The question: If you now drink 1% milk, and 1/2% (half-percent milkfat) milk became available, would you try it?

Emphatic NO!! I'll tolerate 1% only at the nagging of my spouse. Normally compromise with 2% and prefer real whole milk when I can sneak it home. I'll drink a bit less of it rather than drink watered down imitation "trendy" [censored].
Other than that I don't have any strong feelings either way. =😉

Why don't you just buy a jug of non-fat and one of 1% and mix them? Using this system, you could drink 1/4% milk or 1/8% milk.

Personally, I believe that 9/11 should have taught us the lesson that we can't let these countries simmer endlessly in disillusionment without doing something about it because people become susceptible to delusional ideas and delusional actions. Iraq, in my view, is but the first of many efforts, certainly not all military, to remake the very face of the world as constitutional representative democracy.
The gallon bottles are much cheaper, yet I don't use it fast enough to buy two at once. I would like a product that is fully fortified with extra milk proteins (as the 1% milk is), not half that level.

Well, you've got a point there about the cost. But as far as the protein goes -- fortified milk has 10g protein per cup, unfortified has 8 g. If you mix them equally, you'll have 9 g per cup. If you really want that extra 1 g of protein, just add a little more milk to your glass. Less than an ounce will do it. And it'll help you use up those two gallons just a little faster. :-)

Chalk Water! I grew up on a farm, used to real milk, what they sell in the stores as whole milk is no where near the milk that comes out of a cows udder. When I drink milk I drinnk whole milk, I cook with heavy cream, eat lots of butter, never (well hardly ever) go to a doctor. Live at 9700 feet, work fairly hard from time to time, have no trouble running 150 yeards uphill with the dog and I will be 69 here very shortly.
Drink milk not chalk water!
Also in Colorado.
Isn't it funny how people on Usenet think that what works for them should work for everyone?
J.J. in WA - grew up drinking whole milk but prefers 1%...
If I drink whole milk I feel like I'm drinking cream, although I do cook with cream occasionally or half & half. I'm used to skim milk and have been for 20 years. Even 2% to drink bugs me a little bit. Interesting to note skim has more calcium than whole milk. I gather it has something to do with the milk fat inhibiting absorbtion of calcium. But I'm not a doctor, nurse, nutritionist nor dietition so please don't ask me to site sources. I read it someplace or was told about it by a medical professional at some point.

I didn't say that, JJ and I am sorry that I seem to have offended you, that was not my intent.
Thanks for the clarification.

But having said that I grew at a time when milk was much richer and people were much thinner. Now that makes me think that the problem might not be the milk, but might be elsewhere. Now I am not heavy, but if I sat on butt and watched TV, I am sure that I would be. I think that Americans are trying to make up for a lazy lifestyle, by eating food that has nothing to it. And since the US of A is a moderately free country the people are free to do just that, if they so chose. But it is my choice I chose not to do that.
Please don¢t take this personally, it is not aimed at you.
No worries, I didn't think it was... :-)
