Does anyone not buy "lower-calorie" options?

The only time I buy low calorie or low fat is if it is something I like the taste of or if it is on sale or something, but generally no. You do not need to to lose weight.

I don't usually buy low fat options, unless it's something I think I shouldn't be eating anyways haha.

I always drink whole milk and I have also read a lot of studies on it recently. There is a debate going on about whole milk vs. Skim because a study showed kids on whole milk tended to be at a healthier weight. Apparently this was because of the increased fat content, so people aren't as hungry after so they can end up eating less calories. Also calcium, vitamin A and D are fat soluble so if you are drinking a low fat milk it is harder for the body to absorb it. Plus whole milk has more than double good cholesterol than skim.
Of course skims counter is that it is less calories.

OMG. YES. THIS STATEMENT.

I mainly eat full fat, except for mince and mayo - prefer the taste.

It's so hard to find full fat yogurt in supermarkets...
