That reminds me of an oldie but a goodie - have you ever smelled moth balls?
How did you get their little legs apart?
Guffaw, guffaw.......
I will probably be disciplined for that.7 -
The first thing I changed about my food when I started learning from MFP was to switch to whole milk. Full fat is the way to go. I've lost 93 lb so far.3

LOL! While that may work for YOU, it surely is not "the way to go" for everyone.
Frankly, I literally gag if I drink whole milk. I've been drinking skim for 35 years, maybe more. I love it.1 -

I've always wanted to drink whole milk, that's what we had from the dairy when I was a kid. I just thought 2% was "better" for you so I've been drinking it for years. Switched to whole milk a few months ago and love it...in moderation.

Skim drinker here too. But I will say, I've had 2% a few times recently, and it's incredible with how rich and thick it is! Takes your cereal to an entirely new level!
Actually, I've been buying unsweetened almond milk as of late. It works perfect in cooking still, so I appreciate the lower calories when making something like pot pies or alfredo etc. And the only reason why I buy is due to the lower calories, well and I enjoy the taste.1 -
I have to add a lot more skim milk to my tea and coffee than i do full cream. So the calories kinda even themselves out.2

It's bad in the sense of disgusting, because I only drink full fat milk. But as far as protein intake, real milk is much better (regardless of fat content) than nut "milk".0

I am a big fan of milk and dairy products. I have never considered them bad. Focus on your nutritional goals and you will be fine.1

I drank so much milk as a kid, always full cream, and it's stuck with me into adulthood.1

I drink Skimmed milk and have done for 15 years, it's never done me any harm ... I can't drink anything other than cow's milk, it makes me bad - I have severe IBS and almond, soya, rice milk all cause a bad reaction, probably all the additives they have to put in it to make it look like milk and make it into a liquid in the first place ... I mean cow's milk has one ingredient - Cow's Milk, but all the artificial milks have at least half a dozen ingredients, some of which I can't tolerate due to my IBS.
Unless you have a medical reason to avoid cow's milk, if you want it to look like milk, taste like milk and you're going to use it like milk, why don't you just use milk ... Your bank balance will thank you for it and even the cows would prefer you to drink milk, because as long as there's cows being bred for milk, those cows aren't becoming your Sunday roast beef dinner.

2% milk is disgusting to me. I hate its consistency. Since I grew up drinking skim, I associate the thickness of 2% with milk that has curdled / gone bad. Skim all the way for me.
Sidenote, things that are white and "milky" in consistency have always been called milk since the 1400s. Thus "coconut milk", "milkweed" (which has a white milky liquid inside the stem), and, yes, almond milk. I don't really get why people are "confused" by it. Especially when they don't seem to have issues with peanut "butter"?1 -
I drink skim milk because whole milk give me stomach cramps, and light never seems to get cold enough in the fridge.0

Is your fridge working okay? I'm not sure how it's even possible that one kind of milk would not get as cold as another kind of milk.
Stomach problems that involve fat content makes sense.0 -

I can understand this but with me it's whole milk that never taste cold enough.0 -
Dairy intake results in skin an gastro intestinal issues (passing blood, TMI) for me.
I use almond 'milk' as a substitute for smoothies and so forth and as one dietary source of calcium. I don't consider it to be a perfect alternative though.
If you have no reason to avoid dairy, milk can be a great source of protein, fat and calcium and can be very filling. I would choose to do without it unless I had to.
