    Low or no fat cheese is nasty. Has the taste and melting properties of plastic.

    True story: My ex made me a grilled cheese and didn't remove the plastic from the slice of cheese. She swears it wasn't on purpose. :D

    Milk and cheese. For one reduced/non fat milk and cheese taste terrible, as do most reduced/non fat anything goes. For two, I learned some time ago that all you're really doing by eliminating the fat is getting rid of the good fat and bacteria that your body needs. Moderation is the key :smile:

    Pretty much anything except skim milk doesn't taste very good lowfat. Cheese is especially gross.

    Can not tolerate low fat mayo or dressings either. Again, less of the real thing is better than.

    Low fat dressing can just be using less oil when you make it, though, if it's something like a vinaigrette. To me, it still tastes perfectly good.

    I'm picky about cheese, and wouldn't eat it vs. eating some low fat option, however.

    I don't mind most low fat foods that I can think of, but won't eat nonfat (other than yogurt). I also still use butter but very small amounts now, especially since my husband had his heart attack.

    Low fat mayo, dressings, 2% milk, cream cheese, sour cream, all good. Lowfat cheese, like many have said - Life is too short for that rubbery-non melting junk. I don't do anything that is fat free, unless it's naturally that way.

    In a rush at the grocery and grabbed a box of wheat thins--they are reduced fat? What? Didn't even realize that there's a noticable amount of fat in wheat thins. Anyway, I assume that they taste the same (hopefully) and it is just a marketing gimmick

    Fat free cream cheese. Tastes like Crisco.

    I don't mind the Neufchatel version, though.

    I won't eat fat free dairy. The A & D vitamins it's fortified with are fat soluble and won't be absorbed without a little fat. Also, it just tastes better.

    Reduced fat peanut butter is awful - they add sugar to try to make it taste okay but sweet is not a good taste for peanut butter. Reduced fat cheese is an abomination. I find some reduced fat mayo, salad dressing, sour cream okay but the non-fat versions are either too sweet (added sugar again) or have the texture of cornstarch - yech.

    I don't care for low fat (or reduced sugar) ice cream *at all* If I have butter, it's the unsalted, full glory kind & the same with cheese except for mozzarella which I can deal with when it's "partial skim." Tho the full fat fresh mozzarella is the only kind for bruschetta. I do eat 2% fage yogurt, make kefir from 2% milk from a local dairy, and eat "light" (NOT the "low fat" which is nasty) hellmans mayo.

    I’m generally ok with low fat (and some fat free) versions of things that don’t have a funky taste. Like fat free yogurt is fine for me. Fat free sour cream and salad dressings are not. Other things depend a bit on the brand/product specifics and what I’m doing with it. I’m considerably more flexible than many though. As long as it doesn’t have a weird tangy/bitey taste/aftertaste, I’m usually ok with it.

    Milk is my no go, I refuse to use skimmed or low-fat(reminds me of milk flavoured water). I don't have huge glasses of it, usually only to add to tea or to make hot chocolate/ovaltine/horlicks with so I'd rather buy whole milk and use less. Outside of that, I don't think there's anything else I wouldn't eat a lower fat version of.

    YES!!! If it is a food that is pretty much all natural fat, I will not replace it. Pre-packaged foods are ok, but peanut butter, butter and cheese are definitely non-replaceable in my book!

    The only thing low fat that I do is dairy (not cheese), yogurt, and salad dressing because if I'm eating salad it usually means I have a calorie bomb coming later in the day and I'm just saving for it.

    Cheese, milk, half-n-half (yes, they do make fat-free half-n-half), mayo, and butter. I just use less.

    I always wonder "WTH is the other half?"

    I've seen it in the store but I've never actually bothered looking to see what they replaced the fat with...
