1% or 2%...What's your opinion and why? Growing up we always drank Fat Free, now I drink 1% most of the time and sometimes 2%.

    Anything under 1.5% tastes terrible to me. We get 2% because that's what I started buying when my son was little, and it's what he prefers now. I was more fat-phobic back then, though, and when he goes off to college I'll probably switch to buying whole from a local dairy--more expensive, but we won't be going through gallons and gallons a week.

    Been consuming organic 2%, mostly for the extra CLA for the last 5 yrs or so switching to organic goat milk periodically. Preference should be the key reason imo. Not a fan of 0 fat, nor would I serve it to anyone because of the milk powders used for taste and viscosity,

    Drink what tastes the best to you.

    For me, that's 2%

    3.25% milk is the best but I drink 1% on a daily basis!

    I buy 2% for my girlie and when I want to actually drink a glass of milk (not very often) that is what I'll have.

    When I have cereal or use milk in a protein shake I use almond milk. Way less calories and a lot more calcium than cow's milk. It doesn't taste any different to me in cereal or shakes.

    I don't really care. I'll happily drink anything from skim to whole. Whole goes better into coffee, but then again cream is better still.

    I buy whole milk, though, because the girlfriend won't touch anything else.

    I grew up drinking skim milk, so I just stayed with that. Cereal is pretty tasty with almond milk, though.

    It depends on my mood and what fits my macro requirements for the day. I drink everything from skim to whole.

    Full fat, raw, and grass fed -- I'm fortunate to know someone who raises dairy cows.

    I drink raw grass fed, full fat. It tastes incredible.

    used to drink skim, but switched over to unsweetened almond milk....and I'm never going back.

    Personally I am switching to full fat to meet macros. I was going back and forth from full to 2% but until I hit a plateau I am not going to change fat content in daily intake. When and if my body needs a metabolic shift to continue weight loss then I will alter my diet. Fat doesnt make you gain weight sitting on your *kitten* and eating non stop does.

    I find the taste of whole milk repulsive and can only just tolerate 2%. I love skim royale from Fred Meyers (QFC). My bf thinks it taste like watered down milk but I love it.

    FYI: CLA is a trans fat, and all trans fats are bad for you
