Do you drink whole, 2%, 1%, or skim? I used to drink whole milk when I was a kid then switched to 2%. I now drink 1%.

I like to drink the 2% milk. I also used to drink whole milk while growing up (I didn't have a choice...I lived on a dairy farm, lol) I've always read that when you drink 2% milk, you are actually getting more calcium than when you drink whole milk. I don't care for the 1%, to me, it's just too watery.

Thanx for your response! I've heard that claim about the calcium as well. It took me awhile to switch to 1%, I just mixed it with 2% and gradually reduced the amount of 2% I put in each time. I cannot stand skim milk though! Has no flavor!

1% I wish I could drink skim, but it is too thin!

Thanx for your response! I agree about the skim. To me it just doesn't have any flavor.

Skim...I can't drink whole milk at all and even 2% tastes heavy to me..kind of like ice cream.

Thanx for the response! You sound just like my fiancee, he's a skim milk drinker too and cannot stand anything else. He says it's a milkshake.

Thanx for the response! It's hard to get used to a different kind when you've had one kind for a long time.

I switched my family to 2% milk when My daughter was about 2 yrs old and they never knew the difference. I have had to buy whole milk a few times because the dates were close on the 2% milk and they hated it. They prefer 2%. I don't drink milk.

Thanks for the response! When I drank whole milk I couldn't really tell the difference between that and 2%. But there's a big difference between 2% and 1%.

I drink 1% - I used to drink whole as well but have been trying to wean myself down to drinking skim milk just cause it's better for you. For now 1% is good though!

Thanks for your response! I slowly got myself down to 1%. I'll drink 1/2% too. But I can't bring myself to drink skim....it just doesn't have flavor.
